Well, honestly that's sort of a bug. Or rather a limitation. Tweakr profile switching should work fine. The alarmd_queue.ini file looks fine.
There's just two limitations to it:
1.) If you call a profile "Silent", it will not appear and not work. alarmed will always go to the "original silent" mode in that case
2.) If you call a profile "General", nothin will happen, because it will just switch to the "original general" profile, which tweakr always uses for any profile.
So, I *could* work around that but I thought people wouldn't go around calling their "new and special" tweakr profiles "General" or "Silent" so I took a shortcut. I guess I'll do this properly somewhere in the future. I hope it works if you rename your "General" profile to something else.
Btw, I wont be adding any new features until after the weekend. I first want to restructure the code and add a CLI interface.
I'll rename it and see what happens. Thanks!
Edit:
Made a test entry to switch to one of the new profiles, no change. Hmm... removed it and installed the latest from repository but the same result. I'll have to play with it a bit more.

Would it be possible to add a backup schedule feature? I liked the feature from Symbian. A backup can be created every x day at a specific time there.
Would be nice.

When there already is command line support why not just putting this command line in a command execution entry? Not everything should be implemented as a builtin command. I'd say, these should be rather complicated or at least very common tasks.
In the end it also may be more usable having a bunch of shell scripts each one for a special task, which can then be called by any widget or app that is able to call a script. DCE, alarmed or even a self created desktop file could invoke the script and perform the task.
Flexibility rules!
E.G the suggestions here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=72 were simply additions to the config, and could both be added / tweaked by user as well as deployed by alarmed
Also a feature request: is it possible for a little tickbox on the command execution entry that says "Run as root" ?
How about an enable/disable feature? That way you could "turn off" an alarm without removing it and having to set it up again later.
Btw, I wont be adding any new features until after the weekend. I first want to restructure the code and add a CLI interface.
Please consider to also have a 'raw' or 'expert' mode for cli, to set all the function call parameters directly and unmangled.
Further remarks:
Shouldn't /bin/ash be /bin/sh rather?
"first day of month"-request: isn't that easily accomplished by "montly" + "1. of next month"? I mean, other than "last day" the 1. of a month always is the 1. of a month.
scrolling lists: it's easy to have a screen with 9 buttons, rather than this annoying scrolling lists.
Make combined events? like having an event that executes more than one action, all bound to one entity with one time schedule (e.g. switch a profile PLUS execute a builtin function)

My problem is following:
My device language is Finnish and I have no tweakr installed.
Profile switching is not working because, alarmed uses following command in alarm_queue.ini
action0.exec_command: /bin/ash -c'/opt/alarmed/profileswicher.sh general'
but that does not work.
if I give command from xterm:
sh profileswicher.sh yleinen
it works.
So problem is following:
in Finnish language profile names seem to be different, and alarmed does not know that.
Yleinen = General
Äänetön = Silent
is this know bug ?

New Version! Now support for "cron-like" and "coreutils-date-like" syntax for setting events + full CLI interface! See first post for details.

edit:
on second thought, I'll not make it backwards compatible, but it should now start fine, just display corrupt jobs. You can manually delete all jobs by doing:
or just re-save or delete them in the gui.
