NAME

       wakeup - A talking and fully customizable alarm clock

SYNOPSIS

       wakeup username alarmID

DESCRIPTION

       wakeup  plays  an  alarm  for  the given username, whose settings for the alarm can be modified using the
       wakeup-settings utility. The user's alarm that is run is specified by alarmID, which corresponds  to  the
       folder  number  in  the  user's  wakeup  settings folder ~/.wakeup. Alarm text and all associated options
       should be defined by running wakeup-settings as username. Although it is possible to modify the  settings
       directly  by  editing  the  files in ~/.wakeup/, this is not recommended and make cause you to lose alarm
       settings.

       An option in wakeup-settings allows the alarm to wake the computer (from poweroff if the bios allows). In
       this  case, wakeup is set by to run from root's cron, and the alarm will run in this case even if no user
       is logged in. One must log in or be logged in to stop the alarm.

       Note that for any part of the alarm which depends on information from the web to work when  you  are  not
       logged  in,  you  will need to set the wireless network(s) you connect to so that they connect before you
       log in. This can be done through NetworkManager,  by  selecting  a  connection,  clicking  "Edit..."  and
       checking "Available to all users."
