Add warning when reaching daily maximum work time
In Germany, we have laws and tariff contracts that define a daily maximum work time (usually 10 hours), everything beyond that limit is illegal. Currently, I do work and hope to look at the daily sum of all efforts before reaching the daily limit. Much better would be a warning by Task Coach that I'm coming near the limit (e.g. 30min before) and that the limit is reached.
What is needed?
1) one configuration option to define daily limit (e.g. 10 hours) and one how long before reaching the limit a notification/warning shall be issued (e.g. 30min)
2) task setting whether a task counts into the daily maximum (e.g. business tasks do, private ones do not)
3) a background function summing up all efforts that are relevant for the limit and triggers a warning / notification when reaching (limit-forerun) or (limit)

Main difference to idea "Ability to set up daily effort/budget" http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/1414457-ability-to-set-up-daily-effort-budget is that one is about daily limit of one single task/effort and one about daily limit of all (relevant) tasks/efforts summed up.
