Timekpr-nExT

Availability for CLI use

Asked by iwana

Hi,

I just want to give it a try if Timekpr-nExT work under unsupported environment as far as CLI use is concerned.

But I could not find the way to start the configuration in help description by "timekpra --help".
Can I add new users with CLI?

The isntallation seems to be done and timekpr.service is running as follows...

~$ uname -a
Linux debian 4.9.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.168-1+deb9u3 (2019-06-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux

~$ systemctl status timekpr
● timekpr.service - Timekpr daemon service
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/timekpr.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Thu 2019-06-27 20:09:11 JST; 1h 0min ago
 Main PID: 1174 (timekprd)
    Tasks: 4 (limit: 4915)
   CGroup: /system.slice/timekpr.service
           └─1174 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/pyshared/timekpr/server/timekprd.py /usr/bin/timekprd

My desktop runs with Openbox, so without using GUI, if possible, I will appreciate any advice how to run Timekpt-nExT under CLI use only.

Thanks.

Ok, now I understood Your question properly.
Timekpr adds new users automatically, there is no need to do anything to get them on-board.

Please run "timekpra --userlist" and You should see all users registered in the system.

Since You're running OpenBox, that's GUI, You can actually use GUI administration tool to configure stuff, just try running "timekpra" without any parameters.

Thanks a lot! I could run the GUI by the simple command you mentioned.

Inthe very beginning when I read the introduction web page, I had jumped to the wrong conclusion that Gnome or KDE was required for GUI of this application.

OpenBox has no problem to run this GUI console.

Thank you.
