\class AlarmServer alarmserver.h
\brief The AlarmServer class allows alarms to be scheduled and unscheduled.
-
+
Applications can schedule alarms with addAlarm() and can
unschedule alarms with deleteAlarm(). When the time for an alarm
to go off is reached the specified \link qcop.html QCop\endlink
message is sent on the specified channel (optionally with
additional data).
-
+
Scheduling an alarm using this class is important (rather just using
a QTimer) since the machine may be asleep and needs to get woken up using
the Linux kernel which implements this at the kernel level to minimize
battery usage while asleep.
