NAME

zeitgeist-daemon - D-Bus interface providing a log of activities

 

SYNOPSIS

zeitgeist-daemon [OPTION]

 

DESCRIPTION

zeitgeist-daemon is daemon providing an activity log. That is, it consists of a central database for events such as file usage, browser history, calendar entries, etc.

All this information is made available to external applications which communicate with zeitgeist-daemon over D-Bus. Interested applications can request information, insert new events or delete existing events.

Zeitgeist is also capable of establishing relationships between activities. Its purpose is enabling an activity-aware desktop with adaptive user interfaces.

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-datahub
Do not start zeitgeist-datahub together with this daemon.
-r, --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.
--log-level=LOG_LEVEL
Specifies how much information should be printed to the standard output. Possible values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL.
--log-file=LOG_FILE
Specifies a file to which log output will be appended.
-q, --quit
Stop a currently running Zeitgeist instance and exit. This lets Zeitgeist finish any operation it may currently be doing.
-v, --version

-h, --help

This variable lets you specify an override for the filename of the main database. The default value is $ZEITGEIST_DATA_PATH/activity.sqlite.
