(I would probably *not* try to plug into NDB from within NanoClock, but just write a wrapper that starts/stops NanoClock at the required time. Or even keep it up and just pauses/unpauses the clock).

And here's a little example shell script as to how that could potentially be implemented. I haven't plugged any nanoclock stuff into this...

#!/bin/sh

# Check that qndb is available
command -v qndb >/dev/null 2>&1 || { printf >&2 "'qndb' not installed. Exiting"; exit 1; }

# We need to call ndbCurrentView first
qndb -m ndbCurrentView


while true; do
    new_view=$(qndb -s ndbViewChanged | cut -d " " -f 2)
    if [ "$new_view" = "ReadingView" ]; then
        # Do something useful
        printf "Reading View\n"
    else
        # Also do something useful
        printf "Not Reading View\n"
    fi
done
