1) install kalarm 2) build myself a "Bruno" script that uses crontab to 'shutdown' for those times when I just gotta go. Whilst I cannot test it right now (at work, others using my machine etc.) I suspect option 2) can also be achieved using also kalarm. When creating a new alarm under 'Special Actions' you can configure pre and post alarm commands to be run. cheers Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

When creating a new alarm under 'Special Actions' you can configure pre and post alarm commands to be run. Actually, its even easier than that. Just change the action type from text (i.e. pop message) to Command, and then run shutdown. Alternatively select File which I think allows scripts to be run, which can do whatever you want. No need to muck around with crontab, unless you want to. Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Have it email message to your cell phone or an sms gateway to it. That would be especially annoying if you have to pay to receive them. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

All one really needs is to have any alarm system play a message of reminder from my wife...now that is really annoying. Oh, wait, maybe it is only annoying to me -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
