![]() | Enabling/disabling alarm monitoring |
Prev | Using KAlarm | Next |
If KAlarm's run mode is “continuous” and you have selected Disable alarms while not running in the Preferences dialog, you must first ensure that KAlarm is running in order for alarm monitoring to take place.
Then if alarm monitoring is currently disabled, do one of the following:
Select Actions->Enable Alarms.
Right click on the system tray icon and choose Enable Alarms from the context menu.
The alarm daemon is started if necessary and alarms will be monitored for when they become due.
Starting the alarm daemon will affect any other applications which use the alarm daemon.
There are several ways to disable alarm monitoring, which prevents KAlarm from displaying any further alarms either until you re-enable alarms, or - assuming that the alarm daemon is configured to start at login - until the next time you log in.
To disable alarms without stopping the alarm daemon (and therefore without affecting any other applications which use the alarm daemon), do one of the following:
Select Actions->Alarms Enabled.
Right click on the system tray icon and choose Alarms Enabled from the context menu.
If KAlarm's run mode is “continuous” and you have selected Disable alarms while not running in the Preferences dialog, quit KAlarm.
To disable alarms by stopping the alarm daemon:
Select Settings->Control Alarm Daemon.... This displays the Service Manager dialog which enables you to stop the alarm daemon.
This will affect any other applications which use the alarm daemon.
