I hesitate to guess that you are using #Alarm +<value> this will make the alarm act every x ammount of time (Value)
You should be using:
#Alarm -<value> this will make the alarm run only once after the trigger and turning off the trigger will also stop the #alarm as it is suppose to fire only the once |

ALARMS are a special case of trigger, they are not deactivated by IGNORE or the gun-icon. Best I can suggest is put all continous ALARM's into a single class and deactivate that class as well. If you generally use the gun icon you can make yourself a button with the commands of
#IGNORE
#T- AlarmClass |

Sorry, dagwood, but that's backwards. + makes alarms one-time. - makes them use connect-time. With neither, they use clock-time. None of them have any effect on when alarms are disabled.

I'm using #ALARM *xxx syntax. But IMHO before executing this type of alarm should be checked if triggers are enable...

Since alarms are triggers, it is reasonable to think that disabling triggers would stop the alarms. However, since experience shows this to be untrue there's not much anyone can do except agree that it's odd and suggest other methods of stopping them.

Mebbe use a variable to turn the alarm on/off?
@alarmON
#if @alarmON {trigger with #alarm*xxx}{else
trigger without alarm*.xxx}
use a loop to check if the alarmON variable
is true every so often
If the variable is true keep alarm on,
if not, disable the script the alarm is in?
..or mebbe use the #temp thingy?
Jus tryin to be helpful,
