<h2 class="title">Task Shadow Files</h2>
<div class="content">
<p>
A shadow file is a text file containing a copy of a task
report. It is automatically maintained by task whenever
something changes in the task database.
</p>
<p>
This means there is always a current version of the task
report kept in a text file. Products such as
<a href="www.samurize.com">Samurize</a>,
<a href="http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/software/MkConsole/">MkConsole</a>,
or
<a href="http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektool/">GeekTool</a>
can display this file on the computer desktop, so that it
is readily visible.
</p>
<p>
To use a shadow file, edit your .taskrc configuration file,
and add two entries as shown:
</p>
<pre><code>shadow.file=/path/to/file
shadow.command=list pri:H</code></pre>
<p>
In this example the shadow file contains a report equivalent
to running "task list pri:H".
</p>
<p>
You can use any task command that generates a report, and of
course, you can specify any file name, provided the directory
it resides in already exists.
