I am looking for software that will track and log the time people spend using certain programs. It also has to be able to log the file that was open at the time. Every minute it will log what program was used, the windows user name, and what file was open in that program. In order for a program to be considered "used" the mouse and or keyboard had to have been activated within that minute. So if you leave a program running while you go out to lunch it will not log any time. If a program was used at all within that minute then it will be 1 minute of use. If you quickly use 3 different programs within that minute then all three programs will get a minute of use logged to them. Here are the programs I would like to log: "Nuke" by the foundry [login to view URL] 3ds max by autodesk [login to view URL] photoshop by adobe [login to view URL] Mocha Pro [login to view URL] After effects by adobe. [login to view URL] every 20 minutes I would like the application to save small txt files to a dir that say what programs were used, what file was open, what user was logged in and how long the application was used. A sample text file will look like this: {'localtimeNumber': 1382550450.575,'program':'[login to view URL]', 'user': 'mledoux', 'secondsUsed': 300.0, 'file': 'z:/Zen/Shots/075/030/Projects/Nuke/[login to view URL]'} localtimeNumber: is the time the txt file was saved program: is the program that was used. user: is the windows user name secondsUsed: is how many seconds of use were logged file: is the file that was open This program should be very easy to install (remote install would be best) and it should use up very little resources. Thanks!

I'm an expert developer with 18 years of experience. I have good experience with these technologies. In fact, I have a software which I have written using core Windows API which does just this. The only difference being it writes to a Access MDB. I can work with you to ensure this is modified to suit your requirement. Do remember, you can get a free preview/demo of my current software, which does 90% of what you want, to ensure you're working with the right freelancer!

I can create this application for you with all the specification you want. And i can also offer you to make it even better if we make it as so that it have server side and client side so all the information to be instantly avaible at the server and the information at the server side to be updated every X minutes depending on settings(of course if you like to to be done like this we going to have to chat first and decide what is going to be best for you). As communication from my side i can guarantee a direct way to contact me skype/gmail chat or any other means and programs you like so we can be in nonstop communication trough the development process. I hope we are going to work together. Have a nice day.
