urxvt(1) RXVT-UNICODE urxvt(1) NAME urclock (oUR CLOCK) -- clock and appointment reminder for X11 SYNOPSIS urclock [options] DESCRIPTION urclock -- version 9.31 -- is an analog clock for X intended as an xclock(1) replacement that conserves memory and has extra features: urclock enters reverse video if there is mail waiting; an appointment reminder is also builtin. OPTIONS The options supported by urclock: -display displayname Attempt to open a window on the named X display. In the absence of this option, the display specified by the "DISPLAY" environment variable is used. -geometry geom Create the window with the specified X window geometry [default "80x80"]. -bg color Window background color [default "white"]. -fg color Window foreground color [default "black"]. -fn fontname Select font used for reminders [default "7x14"]. -nodate Do not display today's date on the face of the clock. -iconic Start iconified, if supported by the window manager. -adjust ddhhmm Adjust the clock by +/- ddhhmm (dd = days, hh = hours, mm = minutes) to fix an incorrect clock without being root or for working in another time-zone. -update n Update clock face every n seconds [default 30]. If n=1, a seconds hand is displayed. -mail n Check for new mail every n seconds [default 60]. The actual interval is a multiple of the clock update interval. -mailfile mailfile Override environmental variable "MAIL" with mailfile as location for mail. -mailspawn cmd Execute cmd when the face of the clock is clicked by the mouse button. #geom Specify the preferred icon window size [default "65x65"]. Some of these options may not be available based on how urclock was com- piled. Run urclock -help to determine which features are available. X RESOURCES No X resources are used -- only command-line options. TITLES AND ICONS The window and icon titles are set to the day of the week and the date. The date is also displayed on the lower half of the clock unless the -nodate option is specified. The icon window is "active" and will show the time, if supported by the window manager. REMINDERS The ~/.rclock file (note: not ~/.urclock) lists the messages to display and/or the programs to run at specified times and dates. At the specified time, urclock will pop-up a window in the center of the screen to display the message or will simply run the scheduled program. urclock will read the ~/.rclock file at startup, and every 10 minutes (to look for changes) and after a message window has been dismissed (to find the next appointment). An entry in ~/.rclock may be one of two formats (blank and comment lines will be ignored): hh:mm [dd] MM/DD/YY message[; program] or [hh:mm [dd] MM/DD/YY [message]]; program hh - hour (0-23; * = current) mm - minute (0-59; * = 0) dd - days-of-week (some/all/none of umtwrfs; * = all) MM - month (1-12; * = current) DD - day of month (1-31; * = current) YY - year (0-99 or 1900-????; * = current) message - message to display program - program to execute The days-of-the-week use the following abbreviations: u=Sunday, m=Monday, t=Tuesday, w=Wednesday, r=Thursday, f=Friday, s=Saturday, *=all. If message is empty and program has been specified, it is executed without a dialog box. If time/date are also not specified, program is executed on start-up. Note message may contain escape values (\n: newline, \;: semi- colon). Here's a silly example file that shows some of the permissible constructs: # ~/.rclock - My appointment file # startup functions ; xsetroot -solid Black & # cron functions 10:00; xsetroot -solid Grey25 & 14:00; xsetroot -solid Grey75 & # daily/weekly reminders 08:15 mtwrf * Good Morning!\\nRead News?; urxvt -e News 12:00 mtwrf * Lunch Time! 17:00 mtwrf * Go Home 23:00 mtwrf * Still Here? Go to bed 08:10 twrf * Did you do your time card yesterday? 15:00 f * Friday, do your time card early! 16:00 mtwr * Do your time card 16:30 mtwrf * Did you do your time card? *:00 us * It's the weekend, why are you here? 8:15 f */13/* Friday the 13th! Careful! 8:15 * 4/1/* fkrkrmfismsmkd...dkdfk 8:16 * 4/1/* April Fools! # birthdays/anniversaries 16:00 05/21/* Pam's Birthday (next week) 16:00 05/24/* Pam's Birthday (in a few days) # once-of appointments 08:30 03/15/94 Dentist appointment 08:30 03/15/1999 Dentist appointment 08:30 03/15/2004 Dentist appointment ENVIRONMENT urclock uses the environment variable MAIL to determine the location of the user's mail spool file unless the -mailfile option is specified. BUGS urclock is not very smart about dealing with errors encountered while read- ing the ~/.rclock file. Each reminder must be a single line not exceeding 255 characters. Reminder windows are sometimes not redrawn (left blank) when raised or uncovered. HISTORY When "unicodifying" rxvt to urxvt-unicode, other programs than rxvt were dropped, as they would be identical to their rxvt counterparts, and there- fore could still be installed independently by installing rxvt. Since distributions have started dropping rxvt (and thus rclock), the rclock program has been added to the rxvt-unicode package under the name urclock. It should be functionally identical to rxvt's rclock program, in- cluding using the same configuration file name.
