ALARM(1) Toshiba Linux Utilities ALARM(1)
NAME
alarm(1,2) - set(7,n,1 builtins) the alarm(1,2) power time(1,2,n) and or date of a Toshiba laptop
SYNOPSIS
alarm(1,2) [ -dlhv ]
DESCRIPTION
alarm(1,2) allows you to set(7,n,1 builtins) the alarm(1,2) power on time(1,2,n) and/or date of any
Toshiba laptop or notebook that supports the alarm(1,2) power on feature.
Older models may only support an alarm(1,2) power on time.
alarm(1,2) allows fairly complex time(1,2,n) specifications, extending the POSIX.2
standard. It accepts times of the form HH:MM to set(7,n,1 builtins) the alarm(1,2) at a
specific time(1,2,n) of day. (If that time(1,2,n) is already past, the next day is
assumed.) You may also specify midnight, noon, or teatime (4pm) and
you can have a time-of-day suffixed with AM or PM for the morning or
the evening. You can also say what day the alarm(1,2) should be set(7,n,1 builtins), by
giving a date in(1,8) the form month-name day with an optional year, or giv-
ing a date of the form MMDDYY or MM/DD/YY or DD.MM.YY. The specifica-
tion of a date must follow the specification of the time(1,2,n) of day. You
can also give times like now + count time-units, where the time-units
can be minutes, hours, days, or weeks and you can tell alarm(1,2) to set(7,n,1 builtins) the
alarm(1,2) today by suffixing the time(1,2,n) with today and to set(7,n,1 builtins) the alarm(1,2)
tomorrow by suffixing the time(1,2,n) with tomorrow.
For example, to set(7,n,1 builtins) the alarm(1,2) at 4pm three days from now, you would do
alarm(1,2) 4pm + 3 days, to set(7,n,1 builtins) the alarm(1,2) at 10:00am on July 31, you would
do alarm(1,2) 10am Jul 31 and to set(7,n,1 builtins) the alarm(1,2) at 1am tomorrow, you would do
alarm(1,2) 1am tomorrow.
OPTIONS
-d, --disable
Disable the alarm(1,2) power on feature of the laptop.
-l, --localtime
Use if(3,n) the hardware CMOS clock(3,n) on the laptop is set(7,n,1 builtins) to localtime
rather than GMT/UTC.
-h Print a short synopsis of the command line arguments.
-v, --version
Print the version(1,3,5) number and then exit.
BUGS
You cannot set(7,n,1 builtins) the power on alarm(1,2) date to everyday.
