abacus is a simple Linux program that sits in the background and counts every key that you press. It is not a keylogger! No information about the keys is stored, only their count.
The daemon itself only counts keypresses and saves the counter to a SQLite3 database. A Python script (included) can then be used to generate a chart through gnuplot.
Example:
abacus was a nice hack but I no longer maintain or use it. It might be completely broken now. You have been warned.
The program is compiled and installed by the standard make && sudo make install.
If your are on a Debian-like distro, a System V-style script will be created in /etc/init.d and proper
links added to /etc/rc.X.
Charts are generated by a Python script in charts/abacus-gen-chart.py.
You can either run it without arguments, or supply a starting and ending date. See the source code for details.
