You mean a snooze/alarm clock ? Have you read EA Big Ben ? very nice clock by Tom Coxon ! http://mbed.org/users/tom_coxon/programs/EA_BigBen/5yxv6

Do you just want some idears ?

#define day 60*60*24
#define week 60*60*24*7
#define ALARMTIME 60+5

    printf ("\r\nRead tm Values ...\r\n");

    seconds = time (NULL);
    printf ("\r\n> Read in seconds = %d\r\n", seconds);

    t = localtime (&seconds);

    printf ("\r\n>> Current smashed time = %04d/%02d/%02d  %02d:%02d:%02d ..\r\n :)",
            (1900 + t->tm_year),
            t->tm_mon ,
            t->tm_mday,
            t->tm_hour ,
            t->tm_min,
            t->tm_sec);

// Assume 1 day or 7 day ONLY

if (seconds > week) seconds = seconds - week;

if (seconds == ALARMTIME) PlaySound();

if (SnoozeButton) ALARMTIME = ALARMTIME + SnoozeTime;

Cheers
