Working

It creates a file in the same directory in which the program is run with the name specifying the date and time of creation of the file.
If we run this in Terminal, the program prints the output with date and time. To stop this we have to close the terminal, CTRL+C won't work.
But after compiling this with auto-py-to-exe this program was able to run in the background without any attention. We can close the program using Task Manager or other such Tool.
To run this in background in Linux, we can add '&' at the end of the command. For example
If you run the file like this:

python keylogger.py

To run it in background, add '&' at the end of the command:

python keylogger.py &

And to stop it from running you can use the 'top' command to see its Process ID and 'kill' command to kill it.
