Timerecording with CATS - andDogs

andDogs is a simple bash script to demonstrate the usage of an OData-API. Therefor the script needs an appropriate backend where the data is posted to, otherwise it will return an error. Don't use the script in productive environments as it is only a proof of concept.

Further details on the script can be found in the blog post Lieber ODATA als SAP GUI?.
