It has no alarm feature, but pkgsrc/time/titrax can be useful for tracking time spent at various projects. Set up a list of projects, and then click on the appropriate project every time you switch tasks. You need to be pretty dedicated to time management though for it to work well, though it is also trivial to tweak it's tracking files. It comes with a Perl script that should be able to make it useful from the command line too, but I just noticed there's possibly a bug with the Perl-5 install from pkgsrc not including "ctime.pl", or maybe that's deprecated and the script needs updating. And there is pkgsrc/time/xalarm for starting alarms on X11.... If you work primarily in Emacs there are also many time tracking packages for it as well, some that are semi-automatic too. -- Greg A.
