Re: Disk activity

I believe workrave does flash some data about every minute.  In theory, yes,
every disk access can shorten its life.  In practice, the amount of I/O
workrave is adding is infinitesimally small and I wouldn't estimate that you
should worry about premature disk failure due to it.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a 
definitive record of customers, application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense..
