Events

In addition to timing tasks, rtimelog can be used to track events that don’t have a useful duration. These zero duration events are added to the timelog with the event command. The command tasks a description of the event. For example,

   $ rtimelog event +dog @Walk Evening

The event description follows the same form as a task. The first group of non-whitespace characters beginning with ‘+’ after the start command is considered the project. You can think of the project in this case as being more of a group of events. If there is a string of non-whitespace characters beginning with ‘@’, it is treated as the event name. Any other text is explanatory details for the event.

See the Event Reports section for the kinds of reports supported by rtimelog.
