Usage

Overview

worklog is a program that helps you keep track of your time. worklog is a simple ncurses based based program that runs a clock and logs time to a logfile. When worklog is invoked, it reads the project configuration file, and periodically appends to the log file throughout the extent of its run. Individual logfiles are also kept on a per-project basis. The key of each project is used to construct a separate log file made unique by appending .X to the name of the main log file where X is the key character. Press Control-L to redraw the screen (sometimes useful when resizing the window).

The project configuration file

The project configuration file is a text file containing a project and its associated key-character on separate lines. The format of a project line is :

<key>:<name>

Comments may be preceded by the # character

Example project configuration file

# Worklog project file
# note that projects appear in Worklog in REVERSE order
