looking for a clock, minimum and can play sound
Hello. I am looking for an count-down clock. Features are:
* count down to up to 300 seconds. I wish to configure my fluxbox to
activate it by Ctrl+6, which counts down 60 seconds, Ctrl+3 to
count down 30 seconds, thus it must be able to accept commandline
parameter for counting down.
* play a sound when count down to zero.
* It's not bad to have it with X11/gui, although console app would
do (in that case sleep(1) more or less works). It's even better if
it is implemented as a progress bar so I can configure my fluxbox
to put it to the bottom/side of screen and put it half-transparent.
I found only one such application in package repository (timer-applet),
but I am on a really slow computer and wish to have minimum overhead to
start the application, and although i really appreciate having
opensource applications designed with a good usability concept and
guideline, I don't need it myself in this particular case, thus
timer-applet seems overkill for this purpose.
Thanks for recommendation in advance!
