✨ TJ3TS_RECEIVER(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the TaskJuggler manual, and today's main character is tj3ts_receiver 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tj3ts_receiver — receive filled-out time sheets via email 📬

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tj3ts_receiver [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, this program is the one that receives filled-out time sheets via email 💌. It reads the emails from STDIN and pulls the time sheet out of the attached files. Then it checks the time sheet for correctness — vibe check, but make it administratively binding ✨. Good time sheets get filed away (slay), and the sender gets an email telling them whether their time sheet was accepted or rejected. no cap, they will find out 🫶

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -c, --config <FILE> — use the specified YAML configuration file 📄
• --silent — don't show program and progress information 🤫
• --no-color — don't use ANSI control sequences to color the terminal output. Colors should only be used when spooling to an ANSI terminal, and if the detection fails you can use this option to force colors to be off 🙈
• --debug — enable Ruby debug mode 🐛
• -d, --directory <DIR> — use the specified directory as working directory 📁
• --dryrun — don't send out any emails or do SCM commits 🚫📧
• -h, --help — show this message 📖
• --version — show version info 👑

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• HOME — the user's home folder. Used to search for the configuration file if it's not specified 🏠

---

🍓 FILES 🍓

• .taskjugglerrc or taskjuggler.rc — tj3d searches for a config file named .taskjugglerrc or taskjuggler.rc in the current path, the user's home path as specified by the HOME environment variable, or /etc/. At a minimum the file must configure an authentication key, an e-mail delivery method and sender e-mail, e.g.:

_global:
   authKey: ********
   smtpServer: smtp.your_company.com _timesheets:
   senderEmail: 'TaskJuggler <timesheets@taskjuggler.amd.com>'

(the user should specify their own auth key and set file permissions accordingly 🔐). An alternative config file location may be specified using the -c, --config <FILE> option.

• timesheets.log — the statussheets log file, created in the working directory 📝
• TimeSheets/FailedMails/ — directory created in the working directory to store the failed emails 💀📨
• TimeSheets/FailedSheets/ — directory created in the working directory to store the failed status sheets 💀📊

bestie, those Failed* directories are literally where your rejects go to live. it's giving "the island of misfit emails" 😭
