is there a way (command in xterm) to delete the list of alarms? with this i mean the list of previously used alarms at the clock (kinda hard to explain hope this is clear enough), it gets longer and longer..


thx!
You can do it one-by-one by clicking on this alarm on a list, then on the right side of screen you have two buttons: "Delete" and "Save".
And you know, on this list, on the left side of each alarm name, there is a square - it is a checkbox. If you want to set alarm to the same time as before (the same hour during day), you can click this checkbox and it will activate alarm - you won't have to create new one with the same hour. This is very unintuitive in my oppinion, I discovered this behaviour accidentaly after few months of using the phone... (maybe I'm just stupid).

If you want another way, alarms are stored in /var/cache/alarmd/alarm_queue.ini , but don't delete this file, as it will remove also every calendar alarm (as discovered by CepiPerez in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=738068&postcount=5 ). Someone could write a script which would parse this file and remove every alarm, which has line
attr0.attr_data.sval: osso-clock
and does NOT have line
action1.dbus_interface: com.nokia.calendar
inside... Anyone up to it?
