This application is no longer being maintained and is provided as is. Due to the lack of a working Linux development environment, I will no longer be accepting questions however, I will continue to host the application here for the time being. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Newest version is wmtimer-2.92.tar.gz



WMTimer is a dockable alarm clock for WindowMaker which can be run in
alarm, countdown timer, or chronograph mode. In alarm or timer mode,
you can either execute a command or sound the system bell when the time is reached.
Wmtimer is configurable through the command line or the GTK GUI.
