Alternatives to key event from /dev/input/eventX


Hi,


There is a plethora of keyloggers for Windows since 1990s, but not so many for Linux.

cat /dev/input/...keyboardevent... does not print sthg human.

Alternatives:

(1) There is keylogger from google code,
Forget this one, it rather sucks
http://code.google.com/p/logkeys/wik...n#Usage_how-to

(2) also keyevent:
'keyevent' is a little tool derived from evtest.c to report keys being pressed or released on a selectable hardware device. It uses the Linux kernel's event interface, so be sure to load the evdev kernel module (modprobe evdev) before using keyevent.

(3) what else ...

Unspawn, ... craigevil, ... help

Forget all those stuffs and crap above, which never work well... though compiling works fairly well.
That wont be your greatest innovative option.

Do this

Get:1 http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main inputlirc i386 16-1 [14.9 kB

Quote:
apt-get install inputlirc


inputlircd -f -g -m0 /dev/input/eventX

irw
[ SOLVED ]

45 0 KEY_NUMLOCK usb- -event-kbd
4f 0 KEY_KP1 usb- -event-kbd
45 0 KEY_NUMLOCK usb- -event-kbd
45 0 KEY_NUMLOCK usb- -event-kbd
4b 0 KEY_KP4 usb- -event-kbd
45 0 KEY_NUMLOCK usb-


Please make sure before to set correctly your new rules.d for hotplug to make the events for users
