Maemo beeper
 
Hello guys!

Iīm looking for an application that beeps after a given time, continuously. Letīs say that I need a beep every 1 minute, for 30 minutes. Is there anything like that?

You could probably use a crontab for that without needing any special/external programs.

you could probably whip something up in Flash or Python really easily. Or BASH. Just sleep for sixty seconds, then beep, and loop that x times.

I recommend eggtimer.
It is useful .

and I wrote a simple one-liner.
If mplayer is already installed, this script will work in Osso-Xterm.
Code:
for i in `seq 0 30` ;  do  echo $i min ; mplayer -really-quiet  /usr/share/sounds/camera-video-record.wav  ; sleep 60 ; done
Copy&paste it and press the Return key.
but strictly speaking , this script doesn't keep good time.
(lose 0.3~0.5 sec / loop)
Code:
> time  mplayer /usr/share/sounds/camera-video-record.wav  -really-quiet
real    0m 0.41s

I'll be shot for this one day.

Code:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <glib.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <hildon/hildon.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int i;

        if (!g_thread_supported ())
                g_thread_init (NULL);

        gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

        for (i = 1; i<=30; i++)
        {
                hildon_play_system_sound("/usr/share/sounds/camera-video-record.wav");
                sleep(60);
        }
        return 0;
}

Whoa! I appreciate all the help, guys. I will give it a try this afternoon.
and btw, I have tried eggtimer, but it does not have the option to beep every minute.

Thanks!

Yes, Eggtimer can do 1 minute time-outs. Just slide the “minutes” center bar all the way down.

I hit the thanks button for these guys because I have been assisted by them in the past and will pro'ly need assistance on something else in future. It's a good thing having members like them on board. :)
