Command line utility for taking time. Stores timestamps as a file in the user's home directory, so that no program is running in the background.
Timer is written in Python 3. To install, copy timer.py to a suitable directory, and make sure it's executable:
$ chmod +x timer.py
now create a symlink to it from one of the bin-directories so that it's available from the command line:
$ ln -s /link/to/timer.py /usr/local/bin/timer
Now, Timer should be installed. Try writing:
$ timer start
$ timer stop
for confimation.
Once installed, the following commands are available:
