maybe this is posted at the wrong place, plz move it then.
is there a way (command in xterm) to delete the list of alarms? with this i mean the list of previously used alarms at the clock (kinda hard to explain hope this is clear enough), it gets longer and longer..
thx!
No terminal command, but you can manually remove the alarms from the text file. I think it's a reasonable solution for doing it once, you can prevent the list from growing large if you just edit an old alarm in it instead of always creating a new one. That's what I'm doing now, for the lack of a better solution.

And you know, on this list, on the left side of each alarm name, there is a square - it is a checkbox. If you want to set alarm to the same time as before (the same hour during day), you can click this checkbox and it will activate alarm - you won't have to create new one with the same hour. This is very unintuitive in my oppinion, I discovered this behaviour accidentaly after few months of using the phone... (maybe I'm just stupid).
If you want another way, alarms are stored in /var/cache/alarmd/alarm_queue.ini , but don't delete this file, as it will remove also every calendar alarm (as discovered by CepiPerez in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=738068&postcount=5 ). Someone could write a script which would parse this file and remove every alarm, which has line
attr0.attr_data.sval: osso-clock
action1.dbus_interface: com.nokia.calendar

Ok, as I'm learning python, I just tried to write it. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
Wait for it to finish running and then reboot your phone.
I tried to keep all other alarms (calendar, and possibly other).
If it failed and after reboot you notice problems or alarms from calendar disappeared, my script made a copy, so you can restore it:
Open terminal and paste this:
And reboot once again.
If everything is fine, open file manager (from applications menu), select "N900" memory and delete alarm_queue.copy.ini file from your internal storage.
The source of script is as follows (if anyone is interested):
