A way to pause when enter break session instead of continuing?

If you use pomo_msg, then one option would be to add a pomo_pause call directly after it sends a message to start a break.

Another option would be to modify pomo_stat to also detect the start of a break, as well as the start of a new block (work+break) and then call pomo_pause if a break has been detected. That's probably a bit trickier to get right (especially as you only want it to happen the first time a break is detected).

Is this right? because the break session didn't pause and still continuing (I've also place pomo_pause before send_msg but still the same)

    if [[ $(( stat - running - left )) -le 1 ]]; then
        if $work; then
            send_msg "$work_end_msg"
            pomo_pause
        else
            send_msg "$break_end_msg"
        fi
    fi

As for pomo_stat, I'm not sure how to modify that function. My best bet is to use pomo_msg.

Oh, pomo only has second resolution on the timings and treats a time of 0 as belonging to the work block. So this means that the next pomo_msg call thinks you're at the end of the work period, and repeats the if $work branch. (You can similarly trigger repeated end of work messages with a well-timed pomo.sh pause command from the command-line.)

At some point I'll change it to millisecond time resolution but it's fine for my purposes and a limitation of how the file system is used to store timings.

The simplest solution in your case is to sleep for a second before pomo_pause, so the time recorded is the first second of the break block rather than the last second of the work block.

It paused for a moment (and from the prefix, it's seems to be in work session) and then continuing to break session. It didn't fully paused like the using the command pomo.sh pause, that's kind of weird. Maybe it has something to do with pomo_stat? or maybe I need to change pomo_clock or pomo_status too?

if $work; then
    send_msg "$work_end_msg"
    # Ensure the time advances into the break block
    sleep 1
    pomo_pause
else
    send_msg "$break_end_msg"
fi

seems to work for me. (Having the sleep before the pomo_pause behaves like you describe for the reason in my previous message)

It seems like there's something that i changed that make it didn't work. After i re-downloaded the script, it works now. Thanks!
