This is one of the ManualRegressionTests:

Confirm that the KeyboardIdle is correctly set. In particular, is the condor_kbdd working?  Key cases to check:

*: USB keyboard and mouse on Linux
*: Windows Vista or later

{subsection: To test on Linux:}
*: untar the appropriate version of Condor in a scratch directory of a machine that you have access to the keyboard and mouse (note: make sure that keyboard and mouse are USB)
*: run './condor_install .' (note the trailing dot)
*: source condor.sh (as instructed)
*: edit the file at local.*/condor_config.local and add the following:
{verbatim}
ALLOW_WRITE = *
DAEMON_LIST = $(DAEMON_LIST), KBDD
{endverbatim}
*: Run condor_master
*: Give condor a few seconds to start up, and then run this shell script

{verbatim}while true; do sleep 10; condor_status -l -direct `hostname` | grep KeyboardIdle; done{endverbatim}

*: Poke at the keyboard and mouse (individually) and see if the timer resets.  For the mouse the timer might stay at 4 but this is probably ok.

{subsection: To test on Windows}

Ask someone who has a windows machine (TJ?).
