Alarm Clock / Event Software?

Gangster · 2 Jul 2012 at 21:11

Hey

Bit of a hard one to 'search' really but I was wondering if anyone knew a software where I could set alarm/event noises at certain minutes past every hour.

So for example;
Every 25 minutes past on every hour make a notification sound
and repeat this the entire day.

Would be nice if anyone knew one where I didnt have to enter it for every hour (24 times).

There is something like for Thunderbird if you use it?

What other options do you need? That will only take 20 minutes to write.

Windows task scheduler plus a little scripting should do all you need.

Set the task to run daily at a given time and then to repeat every hour thereafter.

Scripting example:

Tailoring it to also / instead play some custom .wav file shouldn't be an issue.

Just set up a scheduled task and in the command line to run a program just put the wav/mp3 instead of an exe. As long as your file associations work it'd be just like you double clicked it and it should automatically play.

If that doesn't work just see if you can pass the file to a media player's exe via a command line switch.
