KAlarm
|
|
|

|

|
KAlarm is a personal alarm message, command and email scheduler. It lets you
|
|
|
|
|
set up personal alarm messages which pop up on the screen at the chosen time,
|
|
|
|
|
or you can schedule commands to be executed or emails to be sent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When setting up or modifying an alarm, the options available let you:
|
|
|
|
|
* choose whether the alarm should display a text message, display a text file,
|
|
|
|
|
execute a command, or send an email.
|
|
|
|
|
* configure the alarm to recur on an hours/minutes, daily, weekly, monthly or
|
|
|
|
|
annual basis, or set it to trigger every time you log in.
|
|
|
|
|
* specify that a reminder should be displayed in advance of the main alarm
|
|
|
|
|
time(s).
|
|
|
|
|
* choose a colour and font for displaying the alarm message.
|
|
|
|
|
* specify an audible beep or a sound file to play when the message is
|
|
|
|
|
displayed.
|
|
|
|
|
* choose whether or not the alarm should be cancelled if it can't be triggered
|
|
|
|
|
at its scheduled time. An alarm can only be triggered while you are logged
|
|
|
|
|
in and running a graphical environment. If you choose not to cancel the
|
|
|
|
|
alarm if it can't be triggered at the correct time, it will be triggered
|
|
|
|
|
when you eventually log in.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to its graphical mode, alarms may also be scheduled from the
|
|
|
|
|
command line, or via DCOP calls from other programs.
