I have been lurking on thread for a while trying to figure out why alarmed wasn't working for me either, now it is working. Yes!!! Unfortunately, I am not a Linux maven and I am struggling to come up with a script that will reboot the phone which I want to use alarmed to trigger.

1) I couldn't get the dbus-send approach to work, I don't know why
2) You need to be root to run the reboot command and someone shot down the idea of having a checkbox in alarmed to run the command as root due to security concerns...not sure who cares about that since the phone is always with me and I have not installed openssh but maybe I am missing something
3) I tried 'rootsh reboot' and got some weird pop-up message that rootsh was no longer trusted (I forget the exact wording)

Sorry for the off topic rant, I got carried away. Thanks for alarmed, now that it switches profiles for me, I can remove system event scheduler.

Cheers,
Fred
