alarm - set the alarm power time and or date of a Toshiba laptop
alarm [ -dlhv ]
DESCRIPTION
alarm allows you to set the alarm power on time and/or date of any Toshiba laptop or notebook that supports the
alarm power on feature. Older models may only support an alarm power on time.
alarm allows fairly complex time specifications, extending the POSIX.2 standard. It accepts times of the form
HH:MM to set the alarm at a specific time of day. (If that time is already past, the next day is assumed.) You
may also specify midnight, noon, or teatime (4pm) and you can have a time-of-day suffixed with AM or PM for the
morning or the evening. You can also say what day the alarm should be set, by giving a date in the form month-
name day with an optional year, or giving a date of the form MMDDYY or MM/DD/YY or DD.MM.YY. The specification
of a date must follow the specification of the time of day. You can also give times like now + count time-units,
where the time-units can be minutes, hours, days, or weeks and you can tell alarm to set the alarm today by suf-
fixing the time with today and to set the alarm tomorrow by suffixing the time with tomorrow.
For example, to set the alarm at 4pm three days from now, you would do alarm 4pm + 3 days, to set the alarm at
10:00am on July 31, you would do alarm 10am Jul 31 and to set the alarm at 1am tomorrow, you would do alarm 1am
tomorrow.
