Wanted: Project accounting/billing

[Adam Carlson]

Hi, I've checked archie and most of the comp.sources/comp.archives
indices but can't find what I'm looking for.  I would like to have a
simple time/resource tracking system. (I realize that sounds like a
contradiction in terms.)  When our consultants are working on client
A's project, they type in something like workingon a, and a log file
is produced displaying how much real time and cpu time was spent until
they either say workingon someone_else or logout.  (Perhaps workingon
could also take a brief description which is added to that entry of
the log file.)  It would also be nice to log printer/disk usage, but
not necessary.  We don't really want to bill people with this system,
just get a realistic idea of how our time is spent.  (Maybe someday we
will account for every second of the day and bill for coffee breaks,
like the big law firms, but that's when I quit.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
