NAME

|
|

|

SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
alarm [+]#### [<delay> ["<message>"]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
alarm is a reminder program. Typically it is executed in the
|
||
|
|
background. The program sleeps until the alarm time, and so
|
||
|
|
uses very little CPU.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first argument defines the time, or time delay, for the
|
||
|
|
alarm to ring. It must consist of an optional leading plus
|
||
|
|
sign followed by four decimal digits. If the plus sign is
|
||
|
|
present the alarm will ring in 'hhmm' hours. If the plus sign
|
||
|
|
is absent, the alarm will ring at time 'hhmm' in 24-hour
|
||
|
|
format. The alarm rings five times, each time delivering a
|
||
|
|
beep, with beeps two seconds apart. The second argument, if
|
||
|
|
present, changes the time between beeps. The third argument,
|
||
|
|
if present, is echoed to stdout after each beep as a reminder
|
||
|
|
message.

||
