Configurable reminder, does it exist ?
Configurable reminder, does it exist ?
Hello,
Do you know if there is a configurable reminder/memo on puppy (or a .deb) ?
Something which would work like this, you write a message and you set up a date for when it will show up such as :
- 02/18/2015 (february)
- every monday of the year (very useful )
- every two days at 4:00 AM for example
- well you see my point maybe ?
Also, if it could even do more like playing a sound.
Or settings like :
- always visible until closed
- show only 30 seconds
and things like that
EDIT : I found OSMO on google and it's in puppy apparently (couldn't find it first because of it's approximative translation in french), dunno if it can do the job, i'll check it later if you confirm !

You could script your own dialog box with gxmessage and have Pschedule time the alert.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
play /usr/share/sounds/ok.wav | gxmessage Yes Totolanio, it exists!

Usually Osmo is configured to use play command, which is not present in majority of Pups, to play sounds.
Go to: Osmo -> Preferences -> General -> Sound Player
and change, whatever there is, to:
Code: Select all
aplay %s
Also, if you haven't done it yet, you need Osmo to be launched at every boot, e.g. by creating this symlink:
Code: Select all
ln -s `which osmo` /root/Startup/
Moreover, if you want a window to pop-up on the screen at alarm time, just go to Advanced tab (while creating a task) and type, for instance:
Code: Select all
xmessage "Reminder"

Semme, your idea is nice ! But I'll stick with Osmo for now since I managed to make it work thanks to JackSFR (or SFR dunno)
It was the "aplay" thing that solved it.
I put osmo in the startup applications instead of making a symlink which I will never remember.

Zigbert's pschedule is the simple way to pop a message at a regular time,
and pclock or puppy clock can use pmusic to play an mp3 file as an alarm

With osmo i got some problems so i switched to pclock and it works fine but it's a bit limited.
Do you know some similar tools but more configurable ? for example if i want to set an alarm every 4 days (and there are 7 days so it can't work with "alarm every monday" for example)
I don't think puppy clock can do that, but maybe i'm wrong
