tomato

Install: go get github.com/CGA1123/tomato

There are a couple of subcommands:

• help: prints usage information
• start: starts a 25min tomato timer
• stop: stops the currently running timer
• remaining: returns how many minutes there are left on the timer
• running: returns exit code 33 if the timer is not running, 0 otherwise
• server: starts the tomato server
• kill: kills the tomato server
• up: returns exit code 33 if the tomato server is not up, 0 otherwise

How it works

tomato server starts an RPC server over unix sockets using /tmp/tomato.sock, most other tomato commands then make requests to this server.

Server logs are outputted to /tmp/tomato.log, logs are truncated across restarts.

You can use tomato running and check the exit code as a means to quickly check if a tomato is running, and use that information to render something in your editor or command line.
