TaskJuggler uses one or more text files to describe a project. The main
project should be placed in a file with the .tjp extension. This
main project may contain several subprojects. Such subprojects should be
placed in files with the .tjsp extension. These subprojects are
included in the main project during compile time.
TaskJuggler works like a compiler. You provide the source files, it computes the contents and creates the output files.
After you created the project description file, have TaskJuggler
compute and create the output. For example, if you have created the
AcSo.tjp project file. You need to send this file to TaskJuggler then:
% taskjuggler AcSo.tjp
TaskJuggler will try to schedule all tasks with the specified conditions and generate the reports that were requested with the htmltaskreport, htmlresourcereport or other report attributes in the input file(s).
Calling TaskJuggler with . as input filename will cause reading from stdin. To redirect output to stdout you can specify -- as filename for reports. This feature can for example be used to generate dynamic html pages from CGI scripts.
To get a list of the command line options of TaskJuggler, use the --help
option:
% taskjuggler --help
