Is there any way to cancel or execute an alarm that hasn't fired yet?

For example. if I set an alarm to execute in 30 seconds, can I #exec (alarmname) or something similar?

or #canc (alarmname)

You are looking for the #SUSPEND command to cancel the alarm already running.

Close, but not quite.

I want to either A) completely cancel it and remove it from the list of triggers, or B) execute it prematurely, and then wipe it.

But thanks for your input.

#suspend will completely cancel and remove it from the list of triggers

Ah ok, the help file in CMud didn't say that.

But what if I want to execute it earlier than the set time? Is there a way to do that?

As for ending the alarm early, check the help file for %alarm. If your alarm was named Alarm1, #call %alarm(Alarm1,1) would either cause the alarm to fire in 1ms and restart or fire and be removed from the session depending on the type of alarm you were using.

I guess #suspend will also not remove the alarm if it's not a temp alarm after thinking on it for another minute or two. Sorry for the wrong info there. If you are not using a temp alarm and want to remove it, #untrigger will remove it from the session.

Another thing you could do is execute another #ALARM command with the same name. This will _replace_ the existing alarm with the new definition.
