Log of firefox use.
Posted: 16 Jun 2014, 15:53
Hi,
I happened to stumble upon porteus and I am currently evaluating the kiosk version for our University Library.
Please, bear with me as I am a linux newbie.
The system is great since it will launch of a usb stick and can be easily modified, but I would like to know how to track usage of the firefox browser.
Basically we want to track the usage of the kiosk machines and wanted to know if and how to write a cron job that tracks the amount of times the web browser is utilized on our main catalog site.
If user activity is reported, the system comes out of screen saver mode and then a log is generated of the event. (At least I think based on the use case this should suffice).
Maybe add another for when the computer is booted up, but there may be incorrect reporting due to regular events such the system not being in screen saver mode and has shut down after a period of inactivity.
Thanks
Ryan
