An example for !iicAlarm.
Do the following to test the system:
- Copy the files in this directory onto an adfs-disk (root-dir).
- Copy !iicAlarm to the root-dir of that adfs-disc.
- Start !Alarm with the 'Alarms' file and check the alarm-times and dates
as well as the path- and filenames.
- call 'BootADFS' to enable your computer to boot from the disk.
- switch off your system and wait...
What should happen...
- the computer is switched on and boots the disc.
- the desktop is started and !Alarm is run.
- !Alarm starts !Draw with the 'Blub'-file.
- 5 Minutes later the computer is switched off.
- This is repeated every day.
Have a look at the files...
!Boot
- It sets the variable 'Alarmfile' to the current Alarmfile.
- The !iicAlarm-mainprogram is started. It initialises the variables.
- some stuff is done
- you can include your normal boot-sequence here if you ask for the mode
of operation. AlarmMode is set to the following:
0 = iicAlarm aktive, user mode.
1 = iicAlarm active, automatic startup.
if AlarmMode is not set at all, the iicAlarm is not active.
- In the Desktop, !Alarm is started with the current Alarmfile.
Alarms
- contains a Task-alarm that calls the desired program, batchfile....
the alarm is normally repeated.
If it is a batchfile you should end it with the shutdown-command instead
of using another task-alarm to switch your computer off.
- may contain a direct command like Alarmshut, which switches the computer off.
There are many things to experiment with, try it.
