Worklog version 1.8 ------------------- INTRODUCTION ------------ Worklog is a program that helps you keep track of your time. I wrote this program because I have several projects that require me to keep a timesheet. I sometimes spend 5 minutes here and there doing miscellaneous administrative tasks. Rather than invoke an editor on a timesheet file for every little segment of my time spent doing these tasks, I wanted to leave a clock running and indicate with one or two keystrokes the onset or change of any given task. Worklog is a simple ncurses based program to do just that. INSTALLATION ------------ The home FTP site for worklog is ftp://ftp.truxton.com/pub/ You should also be able to get the latest version at sunsite.unc.edu or via the Linux Software Map. Before compiling worklog you need to have the ncurses package. You can obtain ncurses from prep.ai.mit.edu in the /pub/gnu directory, or from ftp://ftp.truxton.com/pub/ncurses-4.2.tar.gz Optionally modify the default log and config file #defines at the top of worklog.c. To compile worklog, issue the command : make To install worklog and its manpage in /usr/local/[bin,man/man1] : make install Or, if your man-package supports gzipped man pages : make install.zipman To test worklog with the example projects file : worklog project Then look at the time.log* files created. THE PROJECT CONFIGURATION FILE ------------------------------ The project configuration file is a text file. Each project name and key-character is listed on a seperate line in the format <key>:<name> For example, consider the following 4 lines : B:BOWER consultation L:LIS consultation R:Research r:Read NetNews It should be noted that the order of appearance in worklog of the projects listed in the configuration file is REVERSED. The key of each project is used to construct a separate log file, made unique by appending .X to the main log filename, where X is the key character. Usually keys are case-insensitive, however, if you have a key in upper AND lower case, case matters. RUNNING WORKLOG --------------- I like to use an alias like this : alias wl='worklog $HOME/logs/worklog.projects $HOME/logs/worklog.time.log' You should be able to resize your xterm and have worklog automatically adapt to the new scren size, however xterm sometimes does not send SIGWINCH so it may be necessary to force a redraw by pressing control-L. MISCELLANY ---------- Worklog was written by Truxton King Fulton II. I hereby place worklog into the public domain. You can do whatever you want with this program. I assume no responsibility for it. The most current version of worklog can be obtained at : http://www.truxton.com/~trux/software/worklog.tar.gz If you wish to contact me about worklog, please use the address : [email protected] Thanks to Tim Newsome <[email protected]> for improvements incorporated in version 1.3.
