Alarms
Alarms are special scripts that they are fired when your local time matches the time you have entered .
The Alarm Editor is like the Alias Editor , see Aliases .
You set the alarm date and time in the 5 edit boxes provided . All values are matching the local time with one exception : If you use the value of 9999 in one box , this won't be matched with the local time . That means that you can easily create a script that will be fired each day the same hour, by setting the day , month and year values to 9999 .
The alarm script is guaranteed to be fired within one minute from the time-out period , but not always when the seconds are set to 0 . For example , creating a timer for 23:34 does not mean that once the time will get 23:34:00 the script will be fired . It will be fired within the next 60 seconds .
If they are more than one server windows active when an alarm is to be fired , the script is executed separately for each server .
Alarm scripts are not given any script parameters ( See Scripts )
You may direct edit an alarm by using /_alarm ( See Extended Aliases )
