I have this little script that would pop up a reminder to do something
every 10 minutes.
#!/bin/sh
FONT="-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-640-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1"
show()
{
echo $* | osd_cat -A center -p middle -c red -s 1 -d 1 -f
"$FONT"
}
while true; do
sleep $((10 * 60))
show $*
sleep 1
show $*
sleep 1
show $*
done
osd_cat is in pkgsrc/x11/xosd
I haven't used this in over a decade. It doesn't have a count down
clock, but you might be able to do something with the alarm bit.
Cheers,
Simon.
