  1. Clockchimes creates a cron job that runs a sox based bash script.
  2. The script plays clock chime sound files based on the system time.
  3. As of v0.3 the script plays multiple chime types:
  4. * Ave Maria
  5. * Voice sample
  6. * Westminster (default)
  7. * Whittington
  8. The package installs a config file: /etc/clockchimes.conf.
  9. The config file enables the selection of:
  10. * chime type
  11. * play either, or both, chimes and strikes
  12. * increase or decrease volume
  13. The package has sample KDE desktop files that enable single-click
  14. changing of the chime type played. The files can be found at
  15. /usr/doc/clockchimes-x.x/ and copied to the KDE desktop:
  16. * Ave Maria Chimes.desktop
  17. * Westminster Chimes.desktop
  18. * Whittington Chimes.desktop
  19. * Voice Sample.desktop
  20. The package installs a crontab file: /etc/cron.d/clockchimes
  21. The crontab runs the script on:
  22. * 00, 15, 30 & 45 minute
  23. The package no longer modifies /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
  24. file. Instead the package installs /etc/cron.d/clockchimes as the
  25. controlling crontab. The user no longer has to manually remove
  26. crontab entries after an uninstall of clockchimes-03 or greater.
