15 min Alarm part3

This is the 'relative time' based reminder. it will play a song every 5 mins , one can always change the time . The time specified is in seconds and cannot exceed 999 secs.

REM File name: Reminder.bat

REM Description: this is a Batch file that plays a song every 5 mins.

REM one can change the time by changing the number of secs which is here as '300' in the CHOICE statement.

REM The song can be specified in place of "D:\dwnlds\AIRTEL.wav"

:again

echo off

CHOICE /n /C 12 /d 1 /t 300

if errorlevel == 1 goto sing

if errorlevel == 2 goto sing

:sing

start "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" "D:\dwnlds\AIRTEL.wav"

15 min Alarm part2

So , here i am with the code. Rather i have two. I have one which is based in 'absolute times' using the system clock and the other is based on 'relative time'.

This is the code for the 'absolute time' based reminder. Reminds at 10,20,30,40,50 and 00 minutes on the clock.

REM File name: Reminder.bat

REM Description: this is a Batch file that plays a song every 10 mins.

REM The song can be specified in place of "D:\dwnlds\AIRTEL.wav"

:again

@echo off

REM Takes the system time

set t=%time%

REM t2 = seconds

set t2=%t:~6,2%

REM t1 = minutes

set t1=%t:~3,2%

REM One can specify at what minutes do you want a reminder

if %t1%==00 goto alarm

if %t1%==10 goto alarm

if %t1%==20 goto alarm
if %t1%==30 goto alarm
if %t1%==40 goto alarm
if %t1%==50 goto alarm

REM provides a delay of 1 sec.

CHOICE /n /C 12 /d 1 /t 1

cls

if errorlevel == 1 goto again

if errorlevel == 2 goto again

:alarm

if %t2%==30 goto sing

cls

goto again

:sing

REM can provide the link to the desired media player like VLC,etc.

REM provide the link to the compatible audio file .

start "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" "D:\dwnlds\AIRTEL.wav"

REM provides a delay of 1 minute.

CHOICE /n /C 12 /d 1 /t 60

cls

if errorlevel == 1 goto again

if errorlevel == 2 goto again

goto again

15 min Alarm part1

Inspiration:

When i set myself up for surfing on internet, i usually tend to sway away form what i originally intended. Moreover, i exceed the time limit i had decided upon. One of my friends, made a periodic alarm for himself to get more focused on his job. I really don't know weather it is available already or not. But the happiness of running your own code is definitely more satisfying than anything else.

the reason to choose to make a batch file is that

- i wanted it to be in an un-compiled form so that one can adjust it as and when required .

- one can open on a double click.

- it should not be very complicated.

I will put up the code in my next blog..
