Simple triggers that make your linux-based life easier
Bash, English, Linux, Tips August 27th, 2006
Just read about shutting down the pc after a specific amout of time in Hijacker’s blog. It’s quite simple considering that there’s no way to do something like this with windows (without addons).
If you spin this further, you can do a lot of useful things.
Imagine, for example, you want to listen to one song and shutdown the pc afterwards:
$ play sandmännchen.mp3 ; shutdown -hP now
Or maybe you want to be informed with a sound after some time consuming command finished:
$ tar cvfz /daten/backup.tar.gz /home ; play /media/beep.mp3
Das sind so simple Sachen die das (Linux-)Leben schöner machen =)
Yet another reason why life with linux is so wonderful

Hehe well, originally I wanted to post the flame, too, but then I thought I rather leave it out, because it would be way cooler to have the Winusers get totally envy just by reading the post itself. Directly telling them that they are losers would just make them turn snobbish ;).
But I can just totally agree with the “Yet another reason why life with linux is so wonderful” - with Shell & Co. you can do so manifold things with so little effort… Just wonderful :D
