Hi,
I wanted to look at writing a key logger type
application. i.e. a tool that can detect and record
key stroke and mouse movements.
Does anyone have any clues or suggestions on how I can
do this.
thanks

I hope this doesn't sound out of place, but you might want to provide
a little background on why you're interested in such an application.

For Windows at least it looks like its done rather easily in C++ by making a
.dll and attaching it to programs so it can catch and record all keystrokes:
http://www.keylogger.org/articles.cgi?in=Keyboard_Hook&id=6 .
I imagine you could probably implement all that in Ruby by calling the
appropriate Windows libraries and rewriting that C++ in Ruby or something to
that effect (That would be a Ruby Noob's assumption though, so it very well
might be wrong).

The NSA uses Ruby? 
(OT) If you have a filter set up for to:ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org, then
both your original message and the one the list echoes back out are
shown in the thread. I use gmail and get this behavior too.

A lot of businesses use keystroke loggers on all their PCs to track usage.

If anything, I think that's a more malicious usage than the one I had in mind!
