This project provides a daemon that communicates with hamster-service daemon.
In other words it is a connector between Hamster Time Tracker and mobile thin client which de facto I'm also going to create.

##Required to build

###1. Hamster

###2. CMake

apt-get install cmake

###3. Libraries

• Boost
  • date-time
  • filesystem
  • system
• MsgPack
• D-Bus-C++ library

To install:

apt-get install libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev
                libboost-system-dev libmsgpack-dev  libdbus-c++-dev

###4. Tools

• qdbus
  Tool that provides information about dbus services that are running and ability to manipulate them. I use it to get D-Bus XML introspection document of Hamster.
  To install:  apt-get install qdbus

• libdbus-c++-bin
  It contains dbusxx-xml2cpp that can generate proxy and adapter interfaces from modified D-Bus XML introspection documents.
  To install:  apt-get install libdbus-c++-bin

##Installation

cd build  
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug"..
make
sudo make install

##Uninstallation

Uninstalling process is based on build/install_manifest.txt file. This files is generated during the installation. So it works only if make install was entered before.

sudo make uninstall

##How to use

Access to daemon is provided by init.d script.
Usage: /etc/init.d/hamster-agent {start|stop|status|restart|force-reload}

To start: sudo service hamster-agent start
To stop: sudo service hamster-agent stop
To restart: sudo service hamster-agent restart
