How to automatically start another timer after one ends? Timer plugin.

I wanted to start another timer automatically once the first one ends. So I was wondering if there is a way to manipulate the xfce4-panel's external timer plug-in through a command which I can then set to be executed.

Re: How to automatically start another timer after one ends? Timer plugin.

Can't you achieve the same result with a single timer and a repetition timed to your desired interval?

Timer name: Give your eyes some rest
Countdown period: 20 min.
Repeat the alarm command: Yes (check)
Number of repetitions: 1
Time interval (sec.): 300 (example for 5 minutes)

Just thinking out loud, I don't use the plugin.
