When opening any org mode files or using M-x org-mode on a buffer, I get the following prompt:
: Resume clock (bsmith re: status update) (y or n) n Which refers to a specific heading in one specific org file, used all day most days. : ** DONE bsmith re: status update : CLOSED: [2013-08-06 Tue 13:12] : :LOGBOOK: : CLOCK: [2013-08-06 Tue 12:53]--[2013-08-06 Tue 13:12] => 0:19 : :END: The cause of the prompt is easily found (org-clock-save.el, source wrapped): : ;; org-persist.el - myhost at <2013-08-06 Tue 13:42> : (setq resume-clock '("/home/jtk/org/upwind.org" . 2049565)) : : (setq stored-clock-history : '(("/home/myuser/org/acme.org" . 2044203) : ("/home/myuser/org/acme.org" . 2044243) : ("/home/myuser/org/acme.org" . 2046954) : ("/home/myuser/org/acme.org" . 2049576) : ("/home/myuser/org/acme.org" . 2049494))) The above headline corresponds to the last position character mark, 2049494. My questions are: - What's different about that heading that it isn't closed? - Is there another lisp source of clock insinuate data besides org-persist.el? - What lisp data edit operation would safely clear the open clock status? On a few occasions I've deleted org-clock-save.el to clear the problem, and had a recurrence on a different heading some weeks later. There could be some behavior related to running clocks when emacs daemon stops abruptly on system or X shutdown. Thanks, Jeff
