My guess is if it is working from command line then the issue is the billboard app isn't capturing the output. Billboard app is capturing output only if the script completes within 1000ms and looks like your script is taking more than 1 sec(1000ms).

Thanks for trying it out, but that wasn't it. I ran the script with:

Code:

time python enabledalarms.py

and got:

Code:

06:20 Herätys
real     0m 0.36s
user     0m 0.17s
sys      0m 0.02s

BUT, when I changed the title of my alarm "Herätys" to "Heratys" it magically showed up in Billboard, too!

So, it seems that Billboard can't show scandinavian letters.

edit: It doesn't show scandinavian letters from scripts. They show up just fine if I write them directly to the input field in Billboard. Should the output from the script be encoded somehow?
