xAP schedule info. xAP schedule is available from patrick.lidstone.net/ha,
and requires the cygwin dll if you are running under windows.

xAP Schedule is a simple application which sends a pre-programmed xAP
message at an appointed time. It can operate in two modes - it can either
send a generic alert message or it can send a message from a flat file.

Steps to set up a xap-schedule:

1) Install and run the xap-schedule application on your chosen platform
(Windows or Linux).

2) To set an alarm which generates a generic xAP alert message, send a
message in this format to the scheduler, using the xap-send tool.

xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF123400
class=schedule.request
source=acme.my.controller
target=rocket.schedule.bigben
}
set.once
{
time=15:30:00
date=22-12-2002
event="Get up you lazy bastard"
}


When the alarm fires, it will send a message:

xAP-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF001E00
class=schedule.notify
source=Rocket.Schedule.bigben
}
schedule.event
{
Event="Get up you lazy bastard"
Time=15:30:00
Date=22-12-2002
}

3) To send a message which sends a canned message when it fires, send a
message in this format to the scheduler, using the xap-send tool.
xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF123400
class=schedule.request
source=acme.my.controller
target=rocket.schedule.bigben
}
set.once
{
time=15:30:00
date=22-12-2002
event="Get up you lazy bastard"
file=../send/docs/L1_ON.xap
}

where the file... line specifies the full path to the canned message that
you wish to send when the alarm fires.
