a count-down timer?
This may be a leading candidate in the dumbest question ever asked on debian-user contest but does anyone know of a program in some package that provides a count-down timer? That is, I want to set a time of 5 minutes and start the timer then have it pop up a window or ring the bell or do something to alert me when the five minutes is up. There are many programs such as rclock that can alert me at a specific time on a specific day but I want to be able to say five minutes from now without a lot of hassle. Emacs-based solutions are welcome as are more elegant versions of sleep 5m; echo ^G -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
