I'm looking for programs that might help with maintaining a log, as in a ship's log or a log of maintenance activity on a vehicle.
It's well nigh impossible to use the word log in the search because one is immediately swamped by hits relating to computer logging, e.g. things which write to syslog.
The word journal isn't much better because it too has computer related meanings which swamp any useful output and, anyway, journal isn't quite the right word for what I'm looking for.
So does anyone have any bright ideas either for what to search for or programs that I might find useful.
If I search for 'vehicle log software' it throws up pages of them.
Here are the first few :- http://www.kzsoftware.com/products/vehicle_maintenance/ http://www.freelogbook.biz/ http://en.softonic.com/s/vehicle-log-software?ex=SWH-2097EN.6
Note that I didn't specify linux so you might want to add that to your search criteria.
