Alarm clock scripts

^Nice, so this should basically echo js console.log back to terminal/stdsomething?
(Can't make it work for some reason (./openwithyad), not getting anything back to term).

yad --version
5.0 (GTK+ 3.24.5

But i build this, since Debian Buster is not having webkit enabled by default as it seems? The nonbufered version not working either. Must be a custom yad issue...

Possible alternative to 'at' for those who can live with systemd is 'systemd-run'.
The man page is not so easy to understand, but eg this:
https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2 … eztoc0_0_3
Web-searching might bring up more stuff.
Anyway this worked:

systemd-run --user --on-active=1m -E DISPLAY=:0.0 /home/john/bin/beepmein --reaction test

Although the --on-active time seemed a bit slack. I haven't worked on this at all though...

Hi. I'm the Lead for the Fluxbox version of MX Linux, and wanted to tell the Community how much we liked and appreciated the timer posted by @damo at the beginning of this thread and developed further by contributions from @misko_2083 and others.

We have just finished developing it further and it now forms part of our optional mxfb-goodies (https://github.com/MX-Linux/mxfb-goodies). I believe that with minor changes to icon and alarm sound this will work for you, so am posting the new script in case you are interested. BTW: the localization for that is in progress ATM and should be up within a week when we release the new package.

Glad to *see* you again, misko! Thanks for the reference--I wasn't aware of that version and will take a look the next time the mood hits me to look at this.

I should point out for everybody here that misko helped us greatly in our effort to resuscitate and rework iDesk and its GUI, which now functions well and is much more accessible to regular users.
