It's in the chinook extras repo. Using alarmtool, you can run a command, play a sound or send a dbus event at a certain time with repeating events. It would be great if it was integrated with more things, like GPE. Jason ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

In fact, IIRC, it pops up a little window asking whether it should turn on. So it's do-able. Maybe someone should investigate and create a wiki page? If it is alarmd doing this then it would be nice if it could be integrated into something like cron/at and into the qpe calendar app. David ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: Time aware daemons
I also wonder if alarmd can be used for more than the alarm functionality in N800.

Re: Time aware daemons
I'd suspect that it's still not supported since it would be a battery drain.

Time aware daemons
So i asked a while ago about tasks and scheduling features of maemo, they told me that there was some missing component that was impossible for crond or at. i wonder if this still the same problem now that Diablo is out and might had fix that. -- Kahlil Johnson "Ya tengo GMAIL!!" ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
