Could you create a temporary personal cron job with crontab -e which sets XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$(id -u)" and runs M H * * * aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Side_Left.wav where M is the minute 0-59 and H is the hour 0-23. I shall do exactly the same. Roger
In viewing the full header of the above message (to try to find which country or timezone, is the origin of the message sent to the mailing list, for an extraneous reason), I observed a weird thing, that makes me wonder whether the mailing list and/or Debian, is, as is apparently shown, connected to the infamous NSA.
"X-Message-Flag Supplemental report sent to reaper.nsa.gov. rc=0"Could someone please clarify the apparent involvement of the NSA in this mailing list?
Or, is the mailing list simply under surveillance by the NSA? Thank you in anticipation. .. Bret Busby Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) ..............
