I'm looking for a timer/alarm program that plays a custom sound at any intervall. To be used as reminder. Even better if it could have many reminders running at the same time.

For example:
Every 2 minutes there is a sound saying "watch your breath"
Every 15 minutes there is a sound saying "stretch your back"

Do you know if there is such a program available? Is it difficult to develope?

You can do that with Xbar and CronEdit. With the sound files at hand, all you have to do is schedule Xbar to run/play them every __ minutes. You do the scheduling via CronEdit.

Ok thank you i will try it out

I try the demo of Xbar3 (with regcode 00000) but i get a message "OwnerName is Empty". How do i get it working?

Type your name first at the 'Owner Info' panel of your phone. You see it under Settings > Owner Info.

it works

Good to hear that! 8)

GP, congrats on your award for a start,,,,,,

Can i ask, do you know whether the CronEdit works on the wm5 OS, read this post with interest, have Xbar 3, but when i try to use the CronEdit app, its gives me an error message, asking me to quit and restart program.

Would be a great little app for my phone (i-mate SP5), dont know whether the other member used a WM5 OS phone or not he doesnt say so.

Thanks in advance for your response

The same thing happens for me now (cronedit worked at my first install), now when i start cronedit it says "Error. An unexpected error has occured in cronedit.exe. Seect Quit and then restart this program, or select details for more information. Details: ArgumentNullException..)
also my phone has locked itself in flight mode, cant turn it off! (don't know if that has something to do with cronedit, happened after cronedit started to crash) Do i have to "Clear Storage"?

Another question, is it possible to set up running a task every Minute (instead of hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly tasks)?

I run it on a Qtek8310 wm5

I havent had the phone crash,i am able to close the Cronedit app, it just doesnt do anything other than the same error message, i am going to send an email to the app developer and see what comes back, watch this space!!

Thank you A.Hughes

Im so sorry but I don't have a WM5 SP to try CronEdit. You just made the best move; informing the author of the program about the issue on WM5.

Do you know how to set up the chronedit document manually to play a sound every minute?

In that case, I think 'crontab.txt' would appear like the SAMPLE codes below (take note of numbers 59 down to 0) ...

#
# r------minute (0-59)
# | r------hour (0-23)
# | | r------day of the month (1-31)
# | | | r------month (1-12)
# | | | | r------day of the week (1-7, monday=1)
# | | | | | r------ command to run-------------->
