syndaemon(1)						      General Commands Manual						      syndaemon(1)

NAME

       syndaemon - a program that monitors keyboard activity and disables the touchpad when the keyboard is being used.

SYNOPSIS

       syndaemon [-i idle-time] [-m poll-inverval] [-d] [-p pid-file] [-t] [-k] [-K] [-R]

DESCRIPTION

       Disabling the touchpad while typing avoids unwanted movements of the pointer that could lead to giving focus to the wrong window.

OPTIONS

       -i <idle-time>
	      How many seconds to wait after the last key press before enabling the touchpad.  (default is 2.0s).

       -m <poll-interval>
	      How  many  milliseconds to wait between two polling intervals. If this value is too low, it will cause unnecessary wake-ups. If this
	      value is too high, some key presses (press and release happen between two intervals) may not be noticed. This switch has	no  effect
	      when running with -R.  Default is 200ms.

       -d     Start as a daemon, ie in the background.

       -p <pid-file>
	      Create a pid file with the specified filename.  A pid file will only be created if the program is started in daemon mode.

       -t     Only disable tapping and scrolling, not mouse movements, in response to keyboard activity.

       -k     Ignore modifier keys when monitoring keyboard activity.

       -K     Like -k but also ignore Modifier+Key combos.

       -R     Use the XRecord extension for detecting keyboard activity instead of polling the keyboard state.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DISPLAY
	      Specifies the X server to contact.

EXIT CODES

       If syndaemon exists with a return code other than 0, the error encountered is as below.

       Exit code 1
	      Invalid commandline argument.

       Exit code 2
	      The connection to the X sever could not be established or no touchpad device could be found.

       Exit code 3
	      The fork into daemon mode failed or the pid file could not be created.

       Exit code 4
	      XRECORD requested but not available or usable on the server.

CAVEATS

       It  doesn't  make much sense to connect to a remote X server, because the daemon will then monitor the remote server for keyboard activity,
       but will disable the touchpad on the local machine.
