General command line options

• --url <url> Nettime server URL
• -u, --user <login> User login
• -p, --password <password> Password
• -c, --config <configFile> loads the given config file (in json format) to define command line parameters

Configuration files

To define static options, you can provide a configuration file in json format. If no configuration file is given, the command tries to load the user default configuration file .nettime.json from the user home directory.

{
  "user": "mynettimeuser",
  "url": "https://nettime.example.org",
  "alias": {
    "pfefferminzia.consulting": "225487.01.15.02",
    "pfefferminzia.waiting": "345487.01.15.17"
  }
}

Task number aliases

Task numbers are sometimes a bit inconvenient. To improve booking performance you can define task number alieses as strings and use them in the booking command.

nettime -c myconfig.json book pfefferminzia.consulting 15.03.2017 08:00-16:00

You can directly define task number aliases in the configuration file. It is much easier to use the command line

nettime alias pfefferminzia.consulting 225487.01.15.02

The aliases are stored in the configuration file. If no configuration filename is given the user default file is used.

To list all defined aliases use

nettime alias

Best practice

Run the book command with the booking details

nettime book everyday.task 15.03.2017 8-16

... let the command prompt for your password.

If you want to publish more than on time period per command, simply type

nettime book everyday.task 22.02.2019 7-9 11-13:30 14-17

Be more expressive and add a message to your bookings

nettime book everyday.task 22.02.2019 7-9 11-13:30 14-17 -m "bug fixing"
