time tracking application on Linux

Question

what application do you guys use for time tracking in Linux. I am interested in an application that tracks what applications I use, similar to rescuetime but with will run on Linux since the Linux uploader doesn't seem to work for me

Answer 1

Check out Wakoopa. It will give you options on what applications to track, with your statistics nicely displayed on the web site. Linux, Mac, and Windows tracking clients are available.

Answer 2

I got the rescuetime uploader to work on Ubuntu 10.04 by editing these two rescuetime .server files:

here is the entire install process

wget http://launchpad.net/rescuetime-linux-uploader/trunk/99/+download/rescuetime-linux-uploader-99.tar.bz2
tar xvjf rescuetime-linux-uploader-99.tar.bz2
emacs-snapshot rescuetime-linux-uploader-99/README &
sudo apt-get install epiphany-extensions
python setup.py build 
firefox firefox_extension/rescuetime-firefox-extension.xpi
#install extension in google chrome through browser

next you have to change the directory from /usr/bin to /usr/lib/bin on the third line in rescuetime_tracker.server and rescuetime_notifier.server found in /usr/lib/bonobo/server/

This can be done in a text editor or on the command line using sed:

 cd /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/
 sudo su
 for i in rescuetime*.server
 do
   sed -i 's/\/usr\/bin\/rescuetime/\/usr\/local\/bin\/rescuetime/g' $i
 done
