# This file contains a LittleBrother configuration with several active rules for a master host.

#[MasterConnector]
# Unique token that identifies a slave host with the master host. It has to match the
# corresponding entry on the slave hosts.
# access_token=SOME_LONG_AND_SECRET_TOKEN
#[ClientProcessHandler]
# Interval in seconds between two checks of the processes on a host. Default: 10
# Since reading the process table is often a time-consuming task it may be suitable to increase
# this value to about 20-60 seconds.
#check_interval = 20
#[ClientDeviceHandler]
# Interval in seconds between two pings to configured monitored devices. Default: 10

# Select the engine of the speech output.
# Permitted values:
# * pyttsx3 : Use the library of the same name to generate the speech output. (Default)
# * google : Use the libray 'python_google_speak' to generate the speech output. Note that this library requires an
# internet connection!
# * external : Use an external command to generate the speech output. See setting 'speech_generator_cmd_line'.

# Set the command line for the external speech generation tool.
# Default: /usr/bin/festival --tts --language american_english {inline}
# The command line may contain the following patterns will be replaced before its execution:
# * {infile} : name of a file containing the text to be spoken
# * {text}: text to be spoken
[StatusServer]
# Set IP address that the webserver will listen to. Default: 0.0.0.0, hence it will listen to all local interfaces.
host=localhost
# Set the port number, the webserver will listen to. Default: None, hence the webserver will not be started.

# Set a unique secret which will be used to generate HTML cookies
app_secret=SOME_OTHER_LONG_AND_SECRET_TOKEN

# See http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/dialects/mysql.html#module-sqlalchemy.dialects.mysql.pymysql
# Set the details and credentials for connecting to the backend database

# The remaining part of the configuration file is for defining rulesets describing which user is allowed to access
# the computer during which time periods.
# For a more detailed description see https://github.com/marcus67/little_brother
# This is a simple ruleset for a user (user1) consisting of a simple rule:
# * All processes matching 'sh' will be tracked.
# * No access before 16:00 hours (4PM) or after 23:00 hours (11PM).
# * The overall access time is limited to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
# * The maximum access time per session is 20 minutes.
# * After each access session there will have to be a break period of at least 10 minutes.
[PopupHandler]
# Choose the handler for showing a popup notification
# Possible values:
# * xmessage: use "apt-get install x11-utils" to install
# * gxmessage: use "apt-get install gxmessage" to install
# * zenity: use "apt-get install zenity" to install
# * yad: use "apt-get install yad" to install
# The default is None, which deactivates popup notifications.
popup_engine=zenity
# Choose the encoding of the string passed to the notification tools. Defaults to "UTF-8".
encoding=UTF-8
# Set the mimimum waiting time in seconds before a popup messages is repeated. Any request to issue the same messages
