I'm not sure if cancelling any of the above selected options would prevent this binary to build. So let's have a look at what it does: | Code: | 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
compiled. 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, \;: semicolon).
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
reading 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
therefore 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,
including using the same configuration file name.
