Opening a webpage

Sat Aug 10, 2013 8:47 pm
Is there a way to open a webpage at a certain time, using KAlarm? For example, Open forum.kde.org at 5pm on August 32 (Yes, I know there is no such date! xD )


Thanks for any help,
Pirate

Tried it and got a modal error dialog that says, "Failed to execute rekonq google.com" when I tried the Test button.

I'm a noted tech-tard and typo machine, so I copied and pasted the rekonq google.com part.

I'm using version 2.9.4 -ak on Linux Mint Release 14 (nadia) 32-bit

Thanks for any help!

sorry, I should have been a bit more explicit

in the action field you place browser_execurable url_to_be_opened_with.com

browser_executable can be: konqueror, chromium, opera, firefox, rekonq, chrome, etc.... whatever you have installed and use

***the error probably is that you don't have rekonq (a KDE browser installed)

THANKS!

Firefox google.com worked WONDERS and I assume "execruable" - "executable" LOL


Thanks again,
