NAME
zeitgeist-daemon - D-Bus interface providing a log of activities
SYNOPSIS
zeitgeist-daemon [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
zeitgeist-daemon is a daemon which keeps track of activities on your
system (file usage, browser history, calendar events, etc.) and logs
them into a central database. It does not only create a chronologic
register, but also supports tagging and can establish relationships
between activities.
All this information is provided by external applications which communicate with zeitgeist-daemon over D-Bus. Interested programs can connect with it and request information, insert new items or modify existing information (delete items, add tags, bookmark items and so on).
By default, zeitgeist-daemon will also start the bundled logging application zeitgeist-datahub.
OPTIONS
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with options
starting with two dashes (`--'). A summary of options is included
below.
- --no-passive-loggers
- Do not start zeitgeist-datahub together with this daemon.
- --replace
- Replace any existing Zeitgeist instance if there is one already running. If this option isn't used, zeitgeist-daemon will refuse to start if another running instance is found.
- --quit Stop a currently running Zeitgeist instance and exit. This lets
- Zeitgeist finish any operation it may currently be doing.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ZEITGEIST_ENGINE The engine backend to use (this is useful for switching to new experimental backends or for getting back to an obsoleted
one).
