I think you can use the bg command, but then you may need to run a cron job to check kalarm, and see if there is either a return from kalarm or it has an answer, like:
if kalarm return=true or ifkalarm messege=true then fg or to check the time logs for kalarm and do an fg 1 minute before the kalarm goes off I will see if I can come up with a script, or probably someone on the list can do it off the top of their head. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 18:50:06 -0700 > Subject: Re: [LinuxUsers] Ubuntu wrapup > > On Wednesday 13 May 2009 02:13 pm, Paul Saenz wrote: > > > I think this may be what you're looking for: > > > > http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be- > >run-at-bootup/ > > > > but rather than writing a script, I thing you need to write that path > > to the kalarm file, and/or the kalarm startup script.
