MoscoviumOrange

A feature full command line history logger/viewer. It logs the command, path and timestamp.

Some examples:

• View history of current directory recursively (it's sub directories)

  moscoviumorange --path-prefix=$PWD
  

• View history of all commands that had "curl"

  moscoviumorange --command-contains=curl
  

There are options to filter the results by:

• path prefix/suffix/anywhere
• command prefix/suffix/anywhere
• before / after (time)

I've tried to make it disk write efficient by only writing to the filesystem if there are new entries, as well as only writing every n seconds.

Limitations

• There seems to be a tiny bug where the client won't load the latest records untill the daemon is restarted (I've only seen this happen once).
• There is no lockfile, which makes it easy overwrite your history data by running two instances of the daemon... Yes this happened to me once or twice.
• No support for timezone / localization.

Installation

Nix

nix-env -i -f https://github.com/chrissound/MoscoviumOrange/archive/master.tar.gz

Others

Probably install cabal / stack and then build it from there.

Daemon

Just run moscoviumorange --daemon.

With Nixos:

let

  moscoviumorange = pkgs.callPackage ??????????????? {};
  in
...

  systemd.user.services = {
    moscoviumOrange = {
      enable = true;
      description = "MoscoviumOrange terminal history";
      serviceConfig = {
        Type      = "simple";
        ExecStartPre = "${pkgs.coreutils}/bin/mkdir -p %h/.config/moscoviumOrange/pending/";
        ExecStart = "${moscoviumorange}/bin/moscoviumorange --daemon";
        Restart   = "always";
        RestartSec   = 1;
      };
      wantedBy = [ "default.target" ];
    };
  };

Configure with ZSH

Requires: jq + BSD netcat

function printc () {
  # (nohup ~/ScriptsVcs/addEntryToMoscoviumOrange.sh "$1" &) > /dev/null 2>&1 # 
  if [ -S ~/.config/moscoviumOrange/monitor.soc ]; then
      $(jq -n --arg command "$1" --arg path "$PWD" '{"command":$command, "path":$path}' | "$(echo 'readlink -f $(which nc)' | nix run nixpkgs.netcat)" -N -U ~/.config/moscoviumOrange/monitor.soc &)
  else
      echo "Failed to log command to moscoviumorange" > /dev/stderr
  fi
}
