-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Am I missing something here, or is there a reason why the user in the studio can't just turn Rivendell off on the mixer?
I'm not aware of a graphical countdown app which behaves in the way you want. And I'd avoid adding complexity to something which, when unattended, really -has- to work, unless you really need to. Running a graphical terminal window with a little script which echos "CTRL + C TO STOP ME RUNNING RDAIRPLAY", sleeps 10s, then runs rdairplay would be the way I'd go if I had to, though. Simple enough and unlikely to go wrong.
