CLI alarm clock

I would like to use an alarm clock with a command line interface.

I looked into a combination of «at» and notifications but I think it does not fit. For example atq shows little info about scheduled «alarms».

Remind seems nice, if only there was a way to get notifications for passed alarms. Most calendar applications will show passed alarms when the computer is turned on.

Re: CLI alarm clock

This is what I use since years:

There is no information about already scheduled alarms as yet. This should be easily implemented by writing the effective alarm command to some log file.

To know or not to know .
. the questions remain forever.

Re: CLI alarm clock

I use this totally unsophisticated alias in /etc/profile.bash

Re: CLI alarm clock

Ages ago I made this script for an alarm

there’s probably a better way to check the time then the sleep function.

You’re just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

Re: CLI alarm clock

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will have to content myself with a GUI calendar application to get editable alarms and see alarms that passed while the computer was off. (Or use my phone.)

Re: CLI alarm clock

In remind you can see alarms that have passed if you use it to display a calendar. I believe you can also run it with a false date. If so you could get it to display old alarms — say run it once with yesterday’s date at start-up, then re-run it as normal. It might mean some jiggery pokery, but should be possible based on use cases.

Also, it might be worth looking at wyrd, the curses front end to remind. That might enable missed alarms to be seen.

Re: CLI alarm clock

have you tried looking at the files where at stores its stuff? maybe it’s easy to write a better «scheduled alarms» viewer

and he works prolifically

Re: CLI alarm clock

While I appreciate your suggestion, I do not currently have the time to write that. Maybe one day.

Fixed libunique, now it should work

LeSnake commented on 2021-07-26 18:03

Just realised what went wrong. Gonna fix it asap (currently traveling, give me 1-3 days)

linuxergr commented on 2021-07-26 14:49

Add the libunique from the repo indicated below, there is no need to build it from AUR.

If the problem still persists, let me know.

mrpg commented on 2021-07-26 12:46

This is completely broken due to an error in libunique’s pkgrel. In fact, /var/lib/pacman/local/libunique-1.1.6-9/files does not contain anything ( ls /usr/lib/libunique* doesn’t find anything either). That’s why alarm-clock-applet doesn’t build. More info here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libunique/

Build libunique manually and install the pkgrel 8 one, which is strangely also built. Then everything works.

LeSnake commented on 2021-07-21 22:11

added libunique back to aur linking from artixlinux archive, but build cannot find it for some reason

linuxergr commented on 2021-04-12 10:44

LeSnake commented on 2021-04-12 08:26

libunique was removed from AUR :/ There is a libunique3 but also the code wants libunique, so just fixing the pkgbuild doesnt work

linuxergr commented on 2020-12-16 11:49

Added as an optional dependency, because not all users use those sounds.

mrpg commented on 2020-12-16 08:32

I figured it out. gnome-control-center provides the sounds and should be added as a (maybe optional) dependency.

mrpg commented on 2020-12-16 08:24

Thanks for this wonderful application!

One quick question though: After I reinstalled my system, I no longer have access to the sounds (such as the bark, etc.). Which package provides these sounds, and could this package be added as a dependency? Thanks.

Handy alarm applets

In one of our earlier articles I shared a hack to set quick reminders on Ubuntu. In this article we will explore 2 GUI indicator applets to set alarms and reminders. We picked one each for Ubuntu and Arch Linux.

alarm-clock-applet [Ubuntu]

Light and cute looking indicator applet. However, it needs the user to set the kind of notification he needs on alarm fire.

Features

• supports alarm and timer
• shows time remaining as countdown
• play a sound or start an application or run a command on alarm expiry
• you can use notfy-send or zenity if you are looking for notifications bubbles
• start automatically at login

Installation

To install on Ubuntu, run:

alarm clock [Arch Linux]

alarm clock is available on AUR. It has more features than the applet for Ubuntu.

Features

• has both alarm and counter
• shows notification bubbles
• supports birthday reminders
• supports templates
• notification bubbles, sound, dialog window, command or standard action on alarm expiry
• extensive scheduling options
• start automatically at login

Installation

Download the PKGBUILD snapshot from AUR and run:

Features

Easy to use

Alarm Clock is easy to use — clicking the panel icon will bring up a list of alarms. From there you can add, edit and delete alarms as well as start, stop and snooze them.

Alarm Clock supports two types of alarms: Clocks and Timers. The Clock will go off at a specific time of day while the Timer will ring after the specified amount of time.

Notifications

Alarm Clock will notify you of an alarm by either playing a sound or starting your favorite music player! You can of course specify which sound you would like to use and whether it should be repeated or not. It’s also possible to specify a custom command to run instead of the pre-defined media players.

A notification bubble will appear when an alarm goes off, just in case you missed the sound.

Snooze

Both alarms and timers can be snoozed — it’s as easy as selecting the alarm and clicking «Snooze».

For convenience, the right-click menu of the panel icon provides quick access to snoozing and stopping any beeping alarms.

Powerful
