Hi Adam,
One possibility is that you can set an environment variable called QKECHO
for each user. If this is set, QUICK records copies of all the keystrokes a
user makes. These end up in a file - the name of the file is whatever you
set QKECHO to be.
Of course, the trick is in deciphering where in the system a given sequence
of keystrokes will take a user to, but given enough time and patience, I'm
sure it could be done.
The other gotcha is that the keystroke files can get quite large, so some
kind of cleaning up process would be required...
Just another off-the-wall suggestion, and it may prove to be more trouble
than it's worth... :-)
Best regards,
Mark Fry

Subject: Running Processes
Is there any way to see what my users are doing within my powerhouse
application.
I have a shell script that uses 'ps' to find the processes running the .csh
script that gets them into the applications menu, which
shows me who is currently using the application, but not which area they are
in.
But I would like to see which bit of code (what .qkc or .qzc) they are
currently using and by who?
using:
Powerhouse 4GL 8.13D
Tru64 Unix (Compaq Unix)
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks
