For the latter, I am planning to use the arbtt-stats --intervals report to do my hours reporting. I am currently using normal stats based on tags, but as you can never catch 100%, I will use the intervals and pull untagged parts to the closest tagged time period. So much for introduction. What this can not do for me is of course taking care of stuff I do while not on my laptop. For that, I have developed a little script that will allow me to enter a comment on what I did while I was away every time I unlock my screen. The idea is to combine that with the "inactive" intervals from arbtt to get a report that is very close to what I actually did and to how much time I actually spent working. I wonder what combination From arbtt at konzertheld.de Sat Feb 23 00:03:49 2019 From: arbtt at konzertheld.de (Christian) Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2019 00:03:49 +0100 Subject: Idea for handling stuff that happens while not logged in Message-ID: Hello everyone, sorry for double posting right with my first message to the list. My last mail was unfinished, as you could see. I recently figured out how to build arbtt on Arch and am now a happy user on both my private and my work laptop. For the latter, I am planning to use the arbtt-stats --intervals report to do my hours reporting. I am currently using normal stats based on tags, but as you can never catch 100%, I will use the intervals and pull untagged parts to the closest tagged time period. So much for introduction. What this can not do for me is of course taking care of stuff I do while not on my laptop. For that, I have developed a little script that will allow me to enter a comment on what I did while I was away every time I unlock my screen. The idea is to combine that with the "inactive" intervals from arbtt to get a report that is very close to what I actually did and to how much time I actually spent working. I wonder what combination of tools would be good to achieve this. I could use arbtt-stats and write something completely new myself to combine its output with the data my tool collected but maybe there is a nicer solution, using existing tools or something built into arbtt. I could imagine some kind of interface to tell arbtt what happened while the PC was locked. I also remember some discussion about logging the lock screen "window": https://bitbucket.org/nomeata/arbtt/issues/29/lock-screen-and-machine-off-standby Has there been any follow-up? Would it be worth a try to integrate the "locked time" log with arbtt-graph? And generally, what do you think of the idea? I'm curious for both input and general feedback. :-) Happy hacking, Christian From mail at joachim-breitner.de Sun Feb 24 16:17:37 2019 From: mail at joachim-breitner.de (Joachim Breitner) Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2019 11:17:37 -0400 Subject: Idea for handling stuff that happens while not logged in In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <5479d2979259b6a2152416baec448068e0cb5544.camel@joachim-breitner.de> Hi, I don't think there had been a follow up. If you know _ahead of time_ what you will be doing when away, you can probably hack up a small script that just opens a window with a title that you can then match on. But to do it after-the-fact is tricky, and I fear your best bet is Am Samstag, den 23.02.2019, 00:03 +0100 schrieb Christian: > I > could use arbtt-stats and write something completely new myself to > combine its output with the data my tool collected Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail at joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I do know ahead of time what I will do when I am away, and I could even put together a script that locks the screen and fakes a window with a matching title and put that on a shortcut. I'll try that.
