OPTIONS
- hhmm
-
The time of day is in the form
hhmm
where
hh
is a time in
hours (on a 12 or 24 hour clock), and
mm
are minutes.
However, all times are converted to a 12 hour clock, and assumed to be in the next 12 hours. An attempt to set an alarm for farther into the future will be truncated to within the next 12 hours.
- +
- If the time is preceded by `+ ' , the alarm will go off in hours and minutes from the current time.
If no argument is given, prompts with "When do you have to leave?" A reply of newline causes to exit, otherwise the reply is assumed to be a time. This form is suitable for inclusion in a ~/.login or ~/.profile
