Sometimes you need to run some task in near or far future. For this purpose can be used crontab (can’t get working on my suse). Ktimer is also possibility (has some bugs and not very user friendly). That was reasons why I develop new alarm program.
Usage: ctimer <timer type options> [-t time] <-e path to program>
timer type options:
-p periodic timer
-o tone shot timer
time:
-t time in seconds (default is 100s)
Source can be downloaded from github.com:
git clone git://github.com/nandra/ctimer.git ctimer
