Oops, clacct does keep a date record, but the date on which you entered the transaction, not the date on which the transaction occurred.
Nice start to a great idea
Why are there no command-line accounting programs? Such a good idea, allowing us to use our own scripts and shell functions to build up a personal interface. So this is a great idea. It is, however, barely a start. You don't get to keep track of dates, for example. Of course if you (or I) am inclined we could move this forward. ~David
