Does anyone know of a "alarm" clock client available for X? I would
find such a tool very useful. Something which a user could set and
have it pop up a window with a user defined message.
How about it X-Gods? (Xods ??) :-)
I would also like to throw my two cents in on the recent discussion of
splitting up comp.windows.x. I'm all in favor of it. Currently I
have two days worth of net-news (on comp.win.x, alone) to catch up on
and this amounts to 48 messages.
I find myself junking messages (sometimes) that I probably should read,
but I can't keep up. My wife is about ready to take a hammer to the
terminal I have at home. I would much prefer a "beginner's" newsgroup
for X.

The Andrew "console" program provides this capability, along with other handy features, like mail and print queue monitoring (to name just a couple). You can find Andrew on the X11R3 contrib tape under contrib/toolkits/andrew.

Does anyone know of a "alarm" clock client available for X? I would find such a tool very useful. Something which a user could set and have it pop up a window with a user defined message. I wrote an xremind program some time ago. I reads the invoker's reminder file and displays the message in a little window at the right time. If anyone wants it, I'd be glad to send it (or post it to comp.sources.x). Tim Becker. becker@cs.rochester.edu
