Synopsis

bool scheduleCommand(const QString& commandLine,
                     const QString& dateTime,
                     int lateCancel,
                     int flags,
                     const QString& recurrence,
                     int subRepeatInterval, 
                     int subRepeatCount)
bool scheduleCommand(const QString& commandLine,
                     const QString& dateTime,
                     int lateCancel,
                     int flags,
                     int recurType,
                     int recurInterval,
                     int recurCount)
bool scheduleCommand(const QString& commandLine,
                     const QString& dateTime,
                     int lateCancel,
                     int flags,
                     int recurType,
                     int recurInterval,
                     const QString& endDateTime)

Parameters

commandLine

Specifies the command whose execution is to be scheduled. The flags parameter indicates whether this parameter contains a shell command line or a command script.

dateTime

Specifies the scheduled date, or date and time, at which the command should be executed. For a date-only alarm, the string should be in the format “YYYY-MM-DD” (as returned by QDate::toString(Qt::ISODate)). For an alarm with a date and time, the string should be in the format “YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM[:SS]” (as returned by QDateTime::toString(Qt::ISODate)) or “HH:MM[:SS]” (as returned by QTime::toString(Qt::ISODate)). If no date is specified, today's date is used. Note that any seconds value is ignored.

lateCancel

Causes the alarm to be canceled if it cannot be triggered within the specified number of minutes after the alarm's scheduled time. If the value is 0, the alarm will not be canceled no matter how late it is triggered.

flags

Specifies the logical OR of the desired alarm flags. The flag bits are those defined in class KAlarmIface in kalarmiface.h. Note that not all flag bits are applicable to command alarms.

recurrence

Specifies a regular recurrence for the alarm, using iCalendar syntax as defined in RFC2445. For example, “FREQ=MONTHLY;COUNT=4;INTERVAL=3;BYDAY=-1MO” would specify 4 repetitions at 3-monthly intervals on the last Monday of the month. For a non-recurring alarm, specify an empty string.

recurType

Specifies the recurrence type for the alarm. The permissible values are MINUTELY, DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, YEARLY. These are defined in class KAlarmIface in kalarmiface.h. Monthly recurrences are of the day of the month type, and yearly recurrences are of the date in the year type, with the date in both cases taken from the dateTime parameter.

recurInterval

Specifies the number of periods (minutes/days/weeks/months/years as specified by recurType) between recurrences of the alarm.

recurCount

Specifies the number of times that the alarm should be repeated. Specify -1 to repeat the alarm indefinitely.

endDateTime

Specifies the end date, or date and time, for recurrences of the alarm. If dateTime includes a time, this parameter must also include a time; if dateTime contains only a date, this parameter must also contain only a date.

subRepeatInterval

Specifies the number of minutes between sub-repetitions of the alarm. Specify 0 for no sub-repetition. Ignored if no recurrence is specified.

subRepeatCount

Specifies the number of sub-repetitions of the alarm, including the initial occurrence.

Description

scheduleCommand() is a DCOP call to schedule the specified shell command line, or command script, for execution at the specified date and time. Apart from specifying a command and omitting the message color, font and audio file parameters, its usage is identical to scheduleMessage - see the description of that function for further details.
