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-datahub, --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.
--log-level=LOG_LEVEL
Specifies how much information should be printed to the standard output. Possible values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL.
--quit
Stop a currently running Zeitgeist instance and exit. This lets Zeitgeist finish any operation it may currently be doing.
--version
Shows which version of Zeitgeist is being executed.
--help
Shows a short help message listing all supported options.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

ZEITGEIST_DATA_PATH
Overrides the directory where user data files are placed. The default value is that of XDG's data dir (usually ~/.local/share/zeitgeist).
ZEITGEIST_DATABASE_PATH
This variable lets you specify an override for the filename of the main database. The default value is $ZEITGEIST_DATA_PATH/activity.sqlite.
ZEITGEIST_DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS
This variable lets you specify an override for the extensions which are loaded at daemon startup time. Per default the 'Blacklist' and the 'DataSourceRegistry' extension are loaded.
ZEITGEIST_EXTRA_EXTENSIONS
This variable lets you add extensions which are loaded at daemon startup time.
The ZEITGEIST_DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS and the ZEITGEIST_EXTRA_EXTENSIONS
variable require a no-space comma separated list of module.class names.

EXAMPLES

environment variables

To start the daemon with no extensions loaded run
    ZEITGEIST_DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS= zeitgeist-daemon

To run the daemon with only the non-default extensions 'bzr.notify' and 'tracker.games' run
