gtimer - an application for recording time spent on user-defined tasks.
SYNOPSIS
gtimer [-midnight offset] [-weekstart day] [-nosplash] [-resume] [-start task]
DESCRIPTION
GTimer allows the user to time one or more activities. Users define tasks that can be timed. Text annotations can also be added to tasks.
Reports can be generated that summarize time spent and annotations.

Specify the offset of midnight to use. Users can allow time spent after midnight to be recorded for the previous day. For exam-
ple, the command
gtimer -midnight 400
will not consider everything 3:59AM the previous day.
-weekstart day
Specify which day of the week should be considered the beginning of the week when generating reports. day should be a number
between 0 and 6, where 0 is Sunday. For example, the command
gtimer -weekstart 1
will use Monday as the first day of the week for all weekly reports. The default is 0 (Sunday).
-resume Start timing any tasks that were still be timed when GTimer last exited.
-start taskname
Start timing the specified task immediately. This option can be used more than once on the command line. For example, you can
