NAME
     zeitgeist-daemon - D-Bus interface providing a log of activities

SYNOPSIS
     zeitgeist-daemon [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
     zeitgeist-daemon  is daemon providing an activity log. That is, it consists
     of a central database for events such as file usage, browser history,  cal-
     endar entries, etc.

     All  this information is made available to external applications which com-
     municate with zeitgeist-daemon over D-Bus. Interested applications can  re-
     quest information, insert new events or delete existing events.

     Zeitgeist is also capable of establishing relationships between activities.
     Its purpose is enabling an activity-aware desktop with adaptive user inter-
     faces.

     By  default,  zeitgeist-daemon will also start the bundled logging applica-
     tion zeitgeist-datahub.

OPTIONS
     The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with options  start-
     ing with two dashes (`--'). A summary of options is included below.

     --no-datahub
	    Do not start zeitgeist-datahub together with this daemon.

     -r, --replace
	    Replace any existing Zeitgeist instance if there is one already run-
	    ning.  If  this  option  isn't used, zeitgeist-daemon will refuse to
	    start if another running instance is found.

     --log-level=LOG_LEVEL
	    Specifies how much information should be  printed  to  the	standard
	    output.  Possible values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL.

     --log-file=LOG_FILE
	    Specifies a file to which log output will be appended.

     -q, --quit
	    Stop  a  currently	running  Zeitgeist  instance and exit. This lets
	    Zeitgeist finish any operation it may currently be doing.

     -v, --version
	    Shows which version of Zeitgeist is being executed.

     -h, --help
	    Shows a short help message listing all supported options.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     ZEITGEIST_DATA_PATH
	    Overrides the directory where user data files are  placed.	The  de-
	    fault  value is that of XDG's data dir (usually ~/.local/share/zeit-
	    geist).

     ZEITGEIST_DATABASE_PATH
	    This variable lets you specify an override for the filename  of  the
	    main  database.  The  default  value  is $ZEITGEIST_DATA_PATH/activ-
	    ity.sqlite.

     ZEITGEIST_DATABASE_BACKUP_PATH
	    This variable lets you specify an override for  the  filename  of  a
	    possible	database   backup.   The   default   value   is   $ZEIT-
	    GEIST_DATA_PATH/activity.sqlite.bck.

     ZEITGEIST_DISABLED_EXTENSIONS
	    This variable lets you specify comma  separated  list  of  extension
	    names  which  shouldn't be loaded. The names are extracted from type
	    names of the extensions, so to  disable  extension	with  type  name
	    ZeitgeistDataSourceRegistry,  value  of the variable should be Data-
	    SourceRegistry.

SIGNALS
     SIGHUP: zeitgeist-daemon will shut itself down in a clean way.
	    It is recommended that system updates of Zeitgeist send this  signal
	    to	all  running instances of zeitgeist-daemon. DBus activation will
	    make sure the  updated  software  is  automatically  restarted  when
	    needed.

EXIT CODES
     0	    Zeitgeist terminated normally.

     1	    An unspecified error occurred.

     10     There is already a running Zeitgeist instance.

     21     Could not access the database file.

     22     The database file is locked.
