How about this? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (add-hook 'org-after-todo-state-change-hook '(lambda () ;; clock out when switching to WAIT ;; based on Eric Fraga's recent post to org-mode list (if (string= state "WAIT") (org-clock-out t)))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Not sure if this is exactly what you need but guess it's a starting point.. -- Manish _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
