OT: timer

[Cheryl Homiak]

Does anybody know of a program I can use or something I can implement as a 
timer. I've sort of asked this question before but in slightly different 
words.

It seems that this would be possible. For instance, I notice that arecord 
has a way to set duration and also set sleep--well, actually I know how to 
do sleep independently anyway. also, ossrecord, which is a part of the 
commercial program from opensound.com, actually shows the number of 
seconds as it records if you use the verbose option though, oddly enough, 
I don't think you can set duration on it. What I want is a program that 
doesn't have anything to do with recording, but that allows you to set a 
duration, sleep intervals if wanted, and also displays the time elapsed in 
seconds as it runs. Anybody know of a program that already does this or 
know  where I can look for ideas as to how to set something like 
this up?
Thanks.
