AFAIK the primary goal of alarmed is providing time based events, just like a cron daemon on unix systems. So you might call any script by any time but I guess alarmed itself will not react on other signals.

Or is there a similar app that can be used in conjunction with Alarmed to do this sort of thing???

Of course you could look for a script that does whatever you want and call it every minute by alarmed. Don't know if that would make sense at all, but it should be possible.

Re: [Announce] "Alarmed" scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

Alternatively, take a look at shepherd which will have that sort of functionality (well, at least once it gets released, anyway :) )

Well you can install and use it without problems but the dependencies are a bit messed up. I'll fix that within the next few days. Thanks to attila for clearing it up.

No, it does not do anything like that. Besides shepherd, I saw a thing called action daemon. I don't know if or how it works, but here's the package link: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...gerdaemon/0.1/

Nah I still don't see what I could do to lose the boost dependency. I now only depend on:

python-alarm, python, pyside-qt4-core, pyside-qt4-maemo5, pyside-qt4-gui

With the new package, it still wants to pull in boost *and* libshiboken...

Code:

Nokia-N900:/home/user/alarmed# apt-get install alarmed

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

I mean, just look at the pyside packages and you can see that they're the problem:

Python-Version: 2.5

It just *is* 0.2.3. And there are no 0.3.0 packages in extras-devel as far as I can see. I mean, the *metapackage* depends on 0.3.0 as seen here:

Description: Python bindings for Qt4 (big metapackage)

 Python bindings for Qt4 framework. This is a metapackage for all modules.

Xsbc-Original-Maintainer: Debian Python Modules Team <python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org>

For example you see here "pyside-qt4-gui (>= 0.3.0-1maemo1)" but there *is no* pyside-qt4-gui 0.3.0 anywhere...

So I'm clueless. It seems like a mess to me...

edit:
well there is libpyside0.3, but it says something about "core" and whatever. In any case it's not modularized and I don't get it:

Am I supposed to depend on libpyside0 or what?

I mean, just look at the pyside packages and you can see that they're the problem:

It seems as if your repository data is outdated (the older versions of pyside in there is no error, the package manager will pick up the latest that satisfies the required dependecies). Also, the correct metapackage is pyside-qt4 (there is a single python-pyside, most likely an error?). In any case, if you care about the version of pyside you're getting, you should version your dependencies, so something like

python-alarm, python, pyside-qt4-core (>> 0.3.1-1maemo2), pyside-qt4-maemo5 (>> 0.3.1-1maemo2), pyside-qt4-gui (>> 0.3.1-1maemo2)

You know what? I didn't realize that the apt-cache show info is sorted newest-first. I always only looked at the last entry which was of course oudated. Stupid :)

Thanks mate.

Also, for some reason, installing alarmed now does not pull in boost anymore. *shrug*. Well maybe everything is fine now?

Re: [Announce] "Alarmed" scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

Update:

0.1.9-1/2:

Cleaned up dependencies, no more boost! Pyside ftw.
Added bluetooth switch

Hope everything still works.

Re: [Announce] "Alarmed" scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

A very big THANK YOU!!!!
Now I can do time based profile switching again and all the other cool stuff your app makes possible!:D

The GPRS reset event failed to work this morning. I created a new test event using the Built-In function but that didn't work either. Has alarmed been updated to handle the new dual counters in PR1.2?

I fixed it and uploaded an update. Should be fine now. Note that I reset both counters at the same time. I don't really think that they need to be separate. I can do that though if requested.
