Raspberry Pi customizable alarm clock
Inspiration from http://www.esologic.com/?p=634, thanks Devon!
WARNING: I'm not a pythonist, so please forgive me... thanks...
First of all, you've to install the dependencies. That's how I made it (not so elegant):
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
Next, to configure the thing, copy config.sample.py to config.py and edit it, you should find there some configuration hints.
python start.py
Then, there are some interesting signals (assuming $pid is the PID):
kill -SIGUSR1 $pid #snooze the alarm, it'll restart after config['snooze_minutes'] minutes
kill -SIGUSR2 $pid #stop completely the alarm
- Actually, I need something really really easy to send SIGUSR1. I'll think something about it... tomorrow morning.
- see if everything still works (never used it seriously)
- clock adjusting
- something to reopen the thing if it crashes in the middle of the night...
- continuous play on Mp3Alarm

No one is responsible if you use this crap and it doesn't work
