You've lost me. That command is for a wake function rather than script? ~/.bashrc is necessary to declare the function before it is invoked? What is the period preceding ~/.bashrc? When that is invoked interactively, the xterm window opens and immediately closes. No evidence of the wake function executing. For the wake script, both of these work interactively. xterm -display :0 -e bash -c '~/wake' xterm -display :0 -e ~/wake > It would be a lot simpler to put the script in ~/bin/wake though. I'm happy to use a script rather than function. Is the ~/bin location significant? Would ~ work just as well? I still want to have the alarm at a specified time. Seems at should work but it has yet to suceed. Thanks, ...
