NAME
timex - a manager for time lists
SYNOPSIS
timex [-_t_o_o_l_k_i_t_o_p_t_i_o_n ...] [-option ...] [file to edit]
DESCRIPTION
The _t_i_m_e_x program displays a list of projects, with an
elapsed-time clock for each project. The clock ajadecent to
the currently highlighted project will be running, showing
the time used as HH:MM.
It also saves the stuff to a file for each day.
The day is called YYYY-MM-DD, and is located in the
$HOME/.timex directory. If you don't like this, set the
environment variable TIMEXDIR to the directory you want
instead.
If it is given a filename, it tries to locate this in the
~/.timex directory and gives you a chance to edit it. When
doing this, "save" and "load" buttons appear, together with
the filename, and it does NOT count the time.
It reads the projects from the file "projectlist" in the
~/.timex directory.
The auxillary PERL program "sumtimex" may be used to sum the
files to give an hours-worked list for each week.
To the right of the command box is a counter that lists how
much time has passed, in the format "HH:MM[+-]MM". The last
number is how many minutes you have added or subtracted
since TIMEX started.
COMMANDS
The command buttons available are:
quit Self-explanatory
+ Add 5 minutes to current project
- Subtract 5 minutes from current project
add project
Give a name that will be added to the projectlist
The new project is added after the currently
selected project; if there is no selected project,
it is added as the first project.

OPTIONS
_t_i_m_e_x accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
options along with the additional options listed below:
-help This option indicates that a brief summary of the
allowed options should be printed on the standard
error. NOT IMPLEMENTED YET.
-pi, +pi
Turns off (or on) displaying of the current project
in the icon name
-ip Icon prefix string, to avoid the timex icon jumping
up and down in a sorted TWM iconbox when the project
changes
-sp Start in paused mode (no active project)
-dir Work in another Timex directory
The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments are
commonly used with _t_i_m_e_x:
-bg _c_o_l_o_r
This option specifies the color to use for the back-
ground of the window. The default is _w_h_i_t_e.
-display _h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y
This option specifies the X server to contact.
-xrm _r_e_s_o_u_r_c_e_s_t_r_i_n_g
This option specifies a resource string to be used.
X DEFAULTS

class name for the application is Timex. It understands all
of the core resource names and classes.
There are a number of options that can be set by resources;
