Hi cyber7,

thank you for this modification / addon.

I think you missed something:
- cronie is not installed by default
- crontab entries for http?

Thanks for this, very useful. I've just reinstalled Runeaudio 0.3b on a Raspberry Pi model B and installed this script and have noticed something rather odd. When setting an alarm time of 06.55 it actually sets a cronjob for 06.25 (this is shown both in the info panel about existing alarms and by examining the http crontab). Whatever time I put in, the alarm is set for 30 minutes earlier. My installation is set for London time. The time the alarm actually activates is the earlier time (the one that appears in the cronjob).

The runeaudio is a fresh installation and apart from configuring the network settings and the NFS share I have done nothing before installing your script.

sorry, I had to be more descriptive, but this is a FEATURE. The 30MIN BEFORE CRON JOB means the radio-clock will fade-in for 30 minutes until your MAX has been reached.

So, if you want to wake up at 7am, the cron job will start at 6:30. It has been proven a JERK wake-up alarm could cause medical problems where a slow increase in sound will wake you up as if you are waking up naturally.

Hope this is better explained.

Aha - thanks! I think I will try setting it a bit later and hope that the healthier alarm allows me to do with less snooze time...

Hey Cyber7

This wake-up feature is just great. It's defnitely a must have.

The ultimate option that I'd miss would be the ability to set up two (or more ...) alarms
ie : one for workdays, the other one for weekends, or even better one for each day as I wake up on a different time on mondays and thursdays ; tuesday, wednesday and friday ; saturday and sunday ...

That's a lot to ask, I know

Alas I'm no great coder, so I'll try to poke into you code even if I'm quite confident about ending with a totally messed up system

Cheers
