Randall, before you start talking about enslaving users, have you had a look at Activity Monitor? It's part of OS X, and it reveals (to the user) various metrics about their CPU, memory and I/O use, as well as listing the currently running processes, and that sort of thing. It's a rather innocuous (and quite useful) utility.

AFAIK, it does not pass your credit card details to the CIA, or tell your Mum that you used a rude word in an email, or perform any enslaving or otherwise objectionable functions.

Best,

Mark

Wow, what the hell does this spy software you recomended have to do with automation? What i am after is the complete opposite of what this junk does. This is about empowering the user, not enslaving them. What i am after is about leting the user get their computer to do stuff for them before they ask. Why would you suggest such crap? Sad.

I take it the "Activity Monitor" is not specific enough and/or does
not keep track of events at the level you're describing.
