I followed this page: [URL] that script seems good but I want to change. I want if program is running that it wakes up program on each day (example at 17:15). So I don't want to put it in to sleep but in to time waiting.

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and in the UK we changed from GMT to BST last Sunday (27th March)
On GMT I was waking on LAN at 23:30, all was working fine then we changed to BST. What I usually do is leave the BIOS clock on GMT and change the Wake on Alarm to 22:30. I did this, shut down Ubuntu fine, but its not waking up at all at 22:30, or any other time I set the WOA to. I had this problem a few years ago on an old ASrock mobo and cant remember how I sorted it - maybe by blanking the bios, cant remember.
Create a copy of the file above and call it commands.sorted. Use the vi command to manually sort this file. I.e. use yy to copy a line, P or p to paste a line, and dd delete a line. Order the commands with the two lines starting with double quotes first. Then list the rest of the command in alphabetical order.
Anyone have any ideas what he's talking about? Can I copy a file and rename it at the same time while copying it to the same exact directory again? Now sure what the two lines things means either. I have an email out to him but it usually takes a long time for him to answer me. I got alot of work to do so everytime I get hung up it kills me.
My ipod (5.5gen) only mounts with write acess every now and then - seemingly at random. I'm not sure what log info I should give you, but here is lspci:
Code:
snak3@Panther:~$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation C55 Host Bridge (rev a2)
00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C55 Memory Controller (rev a1)code]....
- More info :I have found that by unmounting in nautilus and then remounting, I can get write access again. I believe this might be the cause of the ipod application floola, although I will do some more troubleshooting and see what else I can find out.
How can we write a file and display in terminal at the same time. Like for example, when I do..
php -f file.php > testfile
That should save right.. but I want to display it in terminal otherwise.
I write a bash script to time some downloads from a server using ftp connection. ( something like: "time ftp 'options' ) I need to count the time for a list of files in a loop and output the result in a file.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an easy to use alarm clock program that I can suggest to new users. The two I have tried so far have fallen short of my expectations. "Alarm Clock" from the Ubuntu software repository starts out okay, but when the alarm actually goes off, getting it to stop seems pretty unintuitive. Click on the Alarm Clock icon, then click a Stop button in the new window that pops up. Sounds easy enough except that the icon used for "Stop" is just this grey square, so for users who are not familiar with linux or this program, it isn't even obvious that it is a button. I had one user actually uninstall the thing in order to get it to shut up. Preferably one should be able to silence the alarm by click on the alarm icon (or right clicking, if a 'doze' behavior is preferred) The other one I tried was alarm-clock-applet, which wants me to locate an alarm sound on my filesystem. Uh, no.
Does anyone know of a simple, basic alarm clock system that anyone can just sit down and immediately use without having to 'get in to the head' of the developer? Are the KDE alarms better? Am I missing something about either of these programs which would make them easier to use?
Does anyone know what this program does and how to remove it? I did a complete removal of evolution, and deleted the .evolution folder yet this job still runs. How do I remove it to get a clean install?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed 'Alarm Clock' from the Software Center and would like to have said app autostarts. There is an option in Alarm Clock to autostart with Gnome but that doesn't work so I assume the reason being I'm not root.
How to autostart Alarm Clock?
Also, in System > Preferences > Startup Applications, the 'Add' asks for a command. Is this like Windows whereas I simply point it to the app I want started? I don't even know where apps are installed. Who said ignorance is bliss?
Any alarm clock program I can run on xubuntu.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've seen in Evolution Calendar where you can have an audio alarm in addition to the pop-up and notification. For the life of me, I cannot find that now. I am Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Evolution 2.28.3 - the latest in the repository. I just can't find an option for audio alarms...
View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have a suggestion for a *simple* calender alarm application? Something that will pop up when I open up the system and tell me "Take out the trash today!" (Actually, it needs to say; 'TAKE OUT THE TRASH TODAY, DUMMY!') I've looked at *Evolution* but it is too much application for what I need. My system is Ubuntu 10.04 OS with 3gb of RAM.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo, I'm attempting to write an alarm clock from scratch without a GUI, doing this through a bash script. So far I wrote the file that actually initiates the song, and I was trying to set up a crontab so I could do it at a certain time, making it function like an alarm clock, but it isn't seeming to work, any input on why
Code:
SHELL=/bin/bash
12 5 * * * /home/angelo/music.sh
That is my crontab
I'm trying to set up the Alarm Clock app to automatically launch Rhythm Box and begin playing a specific internet play lists I have there. I have one template set up to launch Pandora and I could probably get it to launch Rhythm Box but, how do I get it to launch Rhythm Box and begin playing a certain radio station playlist?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need an alarm / reminder system for all the crap I have going on. I want one that will pop up and remind me of a given task. Sounds, bleeps, rings, bells, etc., would also be great. Doesn't evolution have such a thing? IF not, what about online options. But I really prefer sg on this computers so I can still get the reminders when I am offline.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI must be overlooking something here, but I can't find out how to add "Alarm Clock Applet" to my panel. In Ubuntu Software Center, there's a picture of the program right in the panel and feature to add to panel, but there's no option for me to do this. "Add to Panel" doesn't have the application either.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up an alarm via crontab. I can play music by "/usr/local/bin/mp3blaster /home/burak/Desktop/kemannnnn.mp3" command on terminal. However when I wrote this line in crontab it doesn't play:

Since the last kde update I have observed that when an audio alarm is triggered everything is normal: you see the window with the message and hear the sound. But from that moment on the alarms show the window, but no sound is heard. If I quit the application and start it again, the same happens: first alarm works normally, the others are mute. I removed the config files and started again, but this resolved nothing.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI left the linux world for a few years and now i am trying to re-learn my shell scripting basics. I am writing a script for an alarm clock, but i seem to be running into a few issues.
declare -i H
declare -i M
declare -i currentH
declare -i currentM
declare -i minutesLeft
[code]....
My script, instead of doing what it should, produces the following errors:
./alarm: line 19: echo 11: No such file or directory
./alarm: line 26: 6: command not found
[code]....
and if i choose the time 11:06, files called 11 and 6 are creating in the working directory. I am sure it is something really simple, but i haven't used linux or scripting on my computers in around 6 years.
Actually, I have two ISP's internet connection on firewall. I want to use third party software on my workstation if any one link gets down, I got the alarm on local system. How to get an url for download any freeware software.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working in Linux and have connected a normal LED to my serial port (with voltage conversion). I am just trying to make that LED blink periodically using alarm ().So in the signal handling routine of my code,i toggle the LED but then the program quits as SIGALRM terminates the process. Shall i make a nested alarm so that the handling routine also has an alram()? I am stuck and i must confess that i am not so convenient with signal handling so can someone provide some pointers?I thought about using sleep(); but the advantage with alarm is that it waits for the exact number of seconds (when the second turn over from previous to new value) before raising the alarm while i am not sure about sleep taht does that or not.

Code:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for evolution-alarm-notify. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.
Code:
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-0bZHOOZLeL: Connection refused) to be perfectly blunt with you, i dont know what ORBit is or what it is for and the file /tmp/dbus-0bZHOOZLeL doesn't exist on my computer (not even a symlink) the only network sharing apps that are running on the machine are SAMBA and IPP, according to synaptic I don't even have NFS installed on the computer.
As for evolution-alarm-notify, I don't use use evolution (unless I get a pgp encrypted email) which is highly unlikely that I will get one, I am thinking, if I remove the evolution link from my notification bar will that fix the problem?
