NAME

medusa-idled - keep medusa from indexing when the system is in use

SYNOPSIS

medusa-idled

DESCRIPTION

medusa-idled is normally run automatically at login. It puts itself in the background, connects to the X server specified in the $DISPLAY environmental variable, and begins accepting connections on the local socket /tmp/medusa-idled-service.

Each client that connects to the socket will immediately receive a message telling it whether the X server is, at that moment, idle or not. The message will be either ``No user activity\n'' or ``User activity\n''. Later, when the X server goes from being idle to being active, or vice versa, each of the connected clients will be sent a new message notifying it of the new display status.
