Sorry for the double post...
I was having problems because I got the name of my script wrong. I did read over this thread earlier and I don't remember seeing any advice on how I could have detected this. I appreciate Alarmed is just modifying the configuration for Nokia's alarm software, but is there any way Alarmed could show e.g. a log of the output when (attempting to) run the command?
Although it wouldn't help if the command was more than a simple script invocation, it would help avoid this problem if the script to invoke could be chosen with the file browser.
Another small suggestion - I think it would be nicer to make the -C (CLI) switch the default, and have the .desktop file specify some other option (-D?) to tell the GUI to start. That way, command line users can just use it like a 'normal' CLI tool, and GUI users aren't any worse off.
I hope this isn't taken as whinging! Now I've cracked the incorrect name problem, this looks like exactly what I was looking for.
Cheers.

I'd like to try this app but it seems to crash quite immediately, if I try to use it. It loads for few seconds and then just crashes.

Only played with it for a short time now but would it be possable to run an event on week days only?

I suppose it might be possible to nest any command the user enters into () > /opt/alarmed/log but it seems a bit hackish.

I suppose I could write a wrapper script which takes another command line as an argument and tees off its stdout/stderr to a log file. Of course, I'd then have to get the path to that script right. :-)

Not a big deal, just thought I'd ask if there was anything you could do easily.
Thanks for the reply!

It seems alarmed has removed my general profile from the status menu. I can still access it via the power button menu. Anyone know how to get the general profile back in there?

Some help here guys.Alarmed won't run on my device at all.Whenever I run it a blank screen appears for a few seconds and then it returns to desktop.
I have tried installing through application manager, fapman and the terminal but it hasn't run even once.
Also noticed just now that healthcheck started showing same behaviour,before this it worked fine.I updated it to the devel version and its working again, but still no luck with alarmed.
Are there any known conflicts with other packages??

Just a quick bug report, or demonstration of my unfamiliarity with the N900: the text entry boxes in Alarmed seem a bit non-standard, if I hold down a key it auto-repeats, whereas in other applications I get the associated symbol. For example, if I hold down 'w', I get '2' in most apps, in Alarmed I get 'wwwwwwwwwwwww'.
Cheers.
