workday

Keep track of how long you have worked and the amount of flex time you have

Installation

• Install python

• Download this repo and cd to it

• pip install .

• Add a config file with "days_file: <location of days file>".

Default location for the config file is ~/.config/workday.yaml on linux and %USERPROFILE%\workday.yaml on windows

The days file contains all the data and should be backed up.

Usage

workday.py -w Shows a summary

workday.py --start-day 07:30 Sets your start of day to 07:30

workday.py --lunch 11:30 12:00 Sets your lunch to 11:30-12:00

workday.py --end-day 16:00 Sets your end of day to 16:00

workday.py -l Logs todays data to the days file

Automation

These instructions are suggestions on how to automate the input of times

Linux

Use cron to log and reset the day log, for example:

0 18 * * * /home/marhag87/.virtualenvs/workday/bin/python /home/marhag87/git/workday/workday/workday.py -l

0 0 * * * /home/marhag87/.virtualenvs/workday/bin/python /home/marhag87/git/workday/workday/workday.py -r

Use a script to trigger your lock, or look for it in some way. For example:

# Assume locking screen ends the day
/home/marhag87/.virtualenvs/workday/bin/python /home/marhag87/git/workday/workday/workday.py --end-day
# Don't fork i3lock
i3lock -n
# Assume unlocking starts the day, but don't edit if it's not 0
/home/marhag87/.virtualenvs/workday/bin/python /home/marhag87/git/workday/workday/workday.py --start-empty-day
# If you unlock, the day has not ended. Reset it
/home/marhag87/.virtualenvs/workday/bin/python /home/marhag87/git/workday/workday/workday.py --reset-end

Windows

Windows can use the Task Scheduler to trigger the jobs.

Use the following triggers and actions:

• On workstation lock: run script with "--end-day"
• On workstation unlock: run script twice, once with "--start-empty-day" and once with "--reset-end"
• Before midnight: run script with "-l"
• At midnight: run script with "-r"
• At system startup: run script twice, once with "--start-empty-day" and once with "--reset-end"
• At system shutdown: run script with "--end-day"

System shutdown is not a normal trigger. You can use "on event" with Log: System, Source: User32, Event ID: 1074

If you use a laptop, don't forget to untick "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power" under Conditions, Power.
