A simple tool to keep track of time spent working (in the shell).
The three commands (see usage below) operate with a "state file". It stores four values:
total: total time spent workingstart: timestamp when you began worklast: timestamp whenworkworkwas executed the last timestate: the current state, either+(working) or-(not working)
readytowork [statefile]:
Begin working.
jobsdone [statefile]:
Stop working and add the interval between the start timestamp and now to
total.
workwork [statefile]:
Continue working, i.e. set the last timestamp to the current time.
It's designed to be executed in your shell prompt and will
print the current status as + if you're working and - if not (without a
newline). If the status is working and the time between the current and last
execution of workwork is longer than ten minutes, the status will be set to
not working and the interval between start and last will be added to
total. With this timeout behaviour it won't be a problem if you forget to run
jobsdone.
If statefile is omitted, ~/.workwork will be used.
readytowork and jobsdone will print the total time (in hours).
