Hi

Some of you might have heard about WorkRave. It is a program that helps you keep healthy, forcing to stand up for a while and stop looking at computer screen.

There is only one problem with it: there is no KDE interface (AFAIK there used to be one for KDE 3). So I wrote that little script (using kdialog and qdbus). It basically display list of actions (open WR window, set particular mode, open configuration or statistics option) and undertakes selected one.

There is no way to configure WorkRave (break times etc.) using this script. You must use GTK interface for this. Why? Because most of users will configure WR only once. My script is not intended to be full replacement of WorkRave-gtk, it's rather simple interface to most used actions. I wrote it, because I like to keep WR hidden in tray. Since I can not assign keyboard shortcut to it's context menu, I created global shortcut that runs my script. From there, I switch modes or open windows.

Script may be found at my GitHub repo.

I create this thread, because I think some users of this forum may find my script useful. Of course you are free to use, modify and redistribute it.

Thanks for posting this.
Have you considered posting it on kde-apps.org as well?

It turns out I have created account there some time ago, so it was only matter of setting things up.
I created project page. URL: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=153137
