minitimer is a very simple timer that lives in the terminal of your system. It also provides a named pipe which you can pass commands to to control a running instance of minitimer.
minitimer takes the time to count down in YY:MM:SS format. The operation allows
for commands to (p)ause, save a (l)ap, and to (q)uit. Commands
can be sent to a running instance of minitimer via a named pipe.
$ minitimer 00:10:30
* 00:10:25
$ echo 'q' > /tmp/minitimer.148371 # Sends 'quit' to minitimer (PID 148371)
You may check the minitimer(1) manpage for further usage information.
minitimer is supported on Linux and OpenBSD, and requires:
Build by using:
$ make
If you'd like to customize the building process, set your desired variables in
config.mk.
minitimer is configured by setting variables in config.h, using
config.def.h as a template.
You may install minitimer by running the following command as root:
# make install
This will install the binary under $PREFIX/bin, as defined by your
environment, or /usr/local/bin by default. The Makefile supports the
$DESTDIR variable as well.
