[QUOTE="joz, post: 310603, member: 70244"] Hey all, Like so many others here on the forum, the myalarm is not really doing what I want it to do. So I decided to find some replacement. I'm using [URL="http://users.telenet.be/jbosman/poweroff/poweroff.htm"]poweroff[/URL] for a while now and kinda like it.
