  • bcapps

  • My https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/tree/master/bc-doing.pl does this: given argument(s), it writes that arguments (combined with a spice) to a timestamped file (called ~/DOING). Without arguments, it reads back the ~/DOING file in reverse order. You can edit the ~/DOING file so that the program ignores them during readback
