More details about KAlarm

The program displays the current list of pending alarms, from which you can select alarms for modification or deletion. When creating or modifying an alarm, you can:

• choose whether the alarm should display a text message, display a text file, execute a command, or send an email.
• configure the alarm to recur on an hours/minutes, daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis, or set it to trigger every time you log in.
• specify that a reminder should be displayed in advance of the main alarm time(s).
• choose a colour and font for displaying the alarm message.
• specify an audible beep or a sound file to play when the message is displayed.
• choose whether or not the alarm should be cancelled if it can't be triggered at its scheduled time. An alarm can only be triggered while you are logged in and running a graphical environment. If you choose not to cancel the alarm if it can't be triggered at the correct time, it will be triggered when you eventually log in.

Alarms may also be scheduled from the command line, or via DCOP calls from other programs.
