Are you saying that if I want to schedule new alarms, at say, 6.00,
6.05, and 6.10, then I should create 6.00, quit and restart ffalarms,
create 6.05, etc..?

Right. That shows lots of duplicates scheduled, although the 3 alarms
I would like are correctly defined. To fix things, should I just
delete the duplicate scripts in /var/spool/at? or is there a better
way?
