cmd:xalarm

Prev		Next

xalarm is an interactive alarm clock for the X(1) Window System, and is analogous to a combination of leave(1) and calendar(1), but much more powerful. You can set the alarm either on the command line or by using the popup window. At the appropriate time and date, xalarm pops up a window to tell you that your time is up. The time the alarm is to trigger may be a specific time or a time for xalarm to wait before triggering. The date may be a specific date or a number of days in the future.
