Maybe this will help: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISPLAY-TIME (display-time) (defun esf/org-clocking-info-to-file () (with-temp-file "~/tmp/clocking" ;; (message (org-clock-get-clock-string)) (if (org-clock-is-active) (insert (format "org: %d/%d min" (- (org-clock-get-clocked-time) org-clock-total-time) (org-clock-get-clocked-time)) ) ) ;;(org-clock-get-clock-string) ) ) (add-hook 'display-time-hook 'esf/org-clocking-info-to-file) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I use this to place information on clocking at the top of my display (using dzen2 with ratpoison). I have minimal space so only include the time information, not the full information which typically includes the org-heading being clocked. This doesn't work properly if you have two emacs instances but I can't be bothered to improve it as I *never* have two or more emacs running... that's what emacsclient is for, after all... ;-) HTH, eric _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
