Keep track of a Mac's usage pattern
I'd love a utility that tracks which application is frontmost. Does anyone know of such a beast?
Tracking front most app
Great idea! I did a little googling and found some Applescript bits which return the front most app (FMA) and modified the orignal script to support a -a option to include the FMA in the log.
Download with curl -O 'http://marty.feebleandfrail.org/macosxhints/idlemonitor/idlemonitor2.sh'Rob will hopefully mirror this one as well. I tried to make the Applescript part as robust as possible, but you probably need to run this as root since it will fail if the user it's running as is not the same as the logged in user or root. Some intersting FMA names: ScreenSaverEngine, loginwindow, SecurityAgent. -m
Keep track of a Mac's usage pattern
I use mac minder at our office. Not only keeps an eye on what apps are foremost and for how long, but you can set if you wish to many, many other things for security too, like within what time window a particular app may operate, and even for how long within that window - for example if you only want your kids to use safari for up to 1 hour a day, at any time throughout the day, but never after 9pm or before 7am, and so on. Very useful, and well worth the shareware fee.

mac minderYes, but what he needed was a 'wife-minder'. :-)

I'll have to check it out. I'm always happily amazed when I implement what I think is the wheel in some scripts
