Enabling and disabling alarms

Alarms may be enabled and disabled either as a whole or individually:

For an alarm to trigger, it must be individually enabled as well as alarm monitoring being enabled.

Enabling alarm monitoring

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 to enable alarms:

  • 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.

Disabling alarm monitoring

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, do one of the following:

  • Select Actions->Disable Alarms.

  • Right click on the system tray icon and choose Disable Alarms 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.

Enabling and disabling individual alarms

To enable individual alarms which are currently disabled, do one of the following:

  • Select one or more alarms by clicking on their entries in the alarm list. Then choose Actions->Enable.

  • Right click on the desired entries in the alarm list and choose Enable from the context menu.

To disable individual alarms which are currently enabled, do one of the following:

  • Select one or more alarms by clicking on their entries in the alarm list. Then choose Actions->Disable.

  • Right click on the desired entries in the alarm list and choose Disable from the context menu.
