continuing org-clock after accidental emacs-kill

[Mehul Sanghvi]

I was clocked-in and I absentmindedly quit out of emacs without doing
a clock-out.
How do I get the clock working and picking up from where it left off ?
  Or have I lost
what I had for today ?

And for preventive action, I've this (very similar to what existed in
John's Planner):

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  ;; ask the user if they wish to clock out before killing Emacs
  (defun my/org-clock-query-out ()
    "Ask the user before clocking out.
  This is a useful function for adding to `kill-emacs-query-functions'."
    (if (and
             (featurep 'org-clock)
             (funcall 'org-clocking-p)
             (y-or-n-p "You are currently clocking time, clock out? "))
        (org-clock-out)
      t)) ;; only fails on keyboard quit or error

  ;; timeclock.el puts this on the wrong hook!
  (add-hook 'kill-emacs-query-functions 'my/org-clock-query-out)
#+end_src

Best regards,
  Seb

I have the following settings in my .emacs

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;
;; Resume clocking tasks when emacs is restarted
(org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
;; Do not prompt to resume an active clock
(setq org-clock-persist-query-resume nil)
;; Save the running clock and all clock history when exiting Emacs, load it on startup
(setq org-clock-persist t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

so simply going to the agenda (C-c a a) resumes whatever was running
after I restart emacs.

HTH,
Bernt
