simple timer

(1/5) > >>

dbarton:

I'm looking for a timer that starts with a variable that says how long to time for..

In other words.. I could have a link to it saying MYTIMER.EXE 120, and it would time for 120 mins then make a noise.
I might have another icon set up for 'MYTIMER 60' to time for one hour.

All the timers I have found requires you to start them up, then set the time you desire.

The application is to take medication 120 mins after I eat.

I'm...confused but this might be what you're looking for.

TeaTimer (you're chained to Opera though)

WorkRave (RSI helper but you have the option to configure it to alert you to a preset time)

Might be also possible to do this using a TimeBoxing software. (Didn't try this so use at your own risk. I only posted the first link I found in Google)

I forgot, I think the default timer panel for Gnome (Linux) also does this.

belkira:
using AutoHotKey you could do something like this:

--- ---#persistent
#singleinstance off
%1% := 60 * (%1% * 1000)

SetTimer, Message, %1%
return


Message:
SetTimer, Message, Off
msgbox Done!
ExitApp

Then just create shortcuts as needed with the appropriate time.

This AHK scriot looks good, but doesn't quite work 100% for me.  The time calcs may be off.. I feel silly, but I'm having a bit of trouble understanding some of it.
Any chance of breaking it down?

Any way to add a countdown by minute?
Looks like settime function may not allow that.

thanks!!
