Clockchimes creates a cron job that runs a sox based bash script.
|
|
|
|
|
The script plays clock chime sound files based on the system time.

|
The package installs a config file: /etc/clockchimes.conf.
|
|
|
|
|
The config file enables the selection of:
|
|
|
|
|
* chime type
|
|
|
|
|
* play either, or both, chimes and strikes
|
|
|
|
|
* increase or decrease volume
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The package has sample KDE desktop files that enable single-click
|
|
|
|
|
changing of the chime type played. The files can be found at
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/doc/clockchimes-x.x/ and copied to the KDE desktop:
|
|
|
|
|
* Ave Maria Chimes.desktop
|
|
|
|
|
* Westminster Chimes.desktop
|
|
|
|
|
* Whittington Chimes.desktop
|
|
|
|
|
* Voice Sample.desktop
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The package installs a crontab file: /etc/cron.d/clockchimes
|
|
|
|
|
The crontab runs the script on:
|
|
|
|
|
* 00, 15, 30 & 45 minute
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The package no longer modifies /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root file. Instead
|
|
|
|
|
the package installs /etc/cron.d/clockchimes as the controlling crontab.
|
|
|
|
|
The user no longer has to manually remove crontab entries after an uninstall
|
|
|
|
|
of clockchimes-03 or greater.
