Replying to [comment:7 leavengood]:
> Now the other aspect of this is the option to have the time updated
periodically. For this I really think we need some sort of scheduled task
runner in Haiku, and that is definitely outside the scope of this task. So
for now I would not worry about that.
I disagree - while the periodical execution is indeed out of the scope, we
still need a standalone mechanism for it to update the time. We could then
update the time once after booting, for now at least. I think the easiest
way to accomplish that would be to add a command line option to Time that
only updates the time without showing an UI. However, this will bring the
Time entry to the Deskbar -- so I guess the best option would be to have a
separate CLI tool that actually does the work (and that can read the
settings, too). It could be loaded by Time as an add-on, or just started
via system().
Looking forward to your work, Hamish!
