Clockwork
Submitted by inducer on Fri, 27/05/2005 - 05:15
Clockwork is a simple shelll script to track the time you’ve spent at work vs. the time you ought to spend there. You type
clockwork start
when you come in,
clockwork stop
when you leave, and
clockwork indebt
once for every day you’re supposed to be at work. clockwork notes it all down in $HOME/.clockwork. In case you could not log a “start” right when it was supposed to happen, you can say
clockwork startat 9:45
or even
clockwork startat "yesterday 9:00"
(mind the quotes!). stopat, of course, works just like that. During the day, you can say
clockwork howlong
to find out how long you still need to stay. And at the end of the month, say
clockwork report
to have something to hand to your boss.

What is the purpose of [tag]? Can it be used to group work by [tag] as a category? It would be great if the script can record based on project.
For now,
tagis only appended at the end of the time record being created, clockwork does not do anything with it. But given clockwork’s construction of “long pipes of filters”, adding this functionality is not particularly difficult. If you’d like to, give it a shot, and let me know if you need help.Andreas
