Hello,

 I get this "error/warning" most of the time when trying to clock out.

 This is how my task looks like:

** DONE [#A] my task
   SCHEDULED: <2007-10-03 Wed>
   CLOCK: [2007-10-03 Wed 10:36]
   [2007-10-02 Tue]


Any idea why this happens ?

Cheers,
Cezar

What error/warning message exactly?

In what context are you clocking in/out? Did you insert an empty log
when clocking out?

I guess we need a bit more of context :)

My guess would be the text in the subject line: "no running clock"

Are you exiting Emacs while the clock is started, then restarting
Emacs, and attempting to clock out of an item?  I have seen your error
message when I do that.

In short, AFAIK, you can't do that.  Emacs has to be running all along
to use the clock-in and clock-out features.

If you try to kill a buffer with a running clock, Org asks you whether
you want to clock out.  

If you're not in the buffer where the clock runs, you are still able to
see whether a clock is running: the clocked heading is displayed in the
mode-line.

If you still want to check for a running clock before closing Emacs, you
could perhaps do this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(defun org-check-running-clock-any-buffer ()
  "Check if any Org buffer contains a running clock.
If yes, offer to stop it and to save the buffer with the changes."
  (interactive)
  (let ((buf (marker-buffer org-clock-marker))
	(wcf (current-window-configuration)))
    (when 
	(and buf
	     (y-or-n-p 
	      (format "Clock-out in buffer %s before killing it? " buf)))
      (switch-to-buffer buf)
      (org-clock-out)
      (when (y-or-n-p "Save changed buffer? ")
	(save-buffer))
      (set-window-configuration wcf))))

(defadvice save-buffers-kill-emacs
  (before org-check-running-clock activate)
  "Check for a running clock before quitting."
  (org-check-running-clock-any-buffer))
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah I think I sometimes quit my emacs and start it again, or maybe kill
the org buffer. I just thought it parses the entire .org file looking
for a started clock with no clock out. I guess I was wrong :D

Thanks again !
