Lol, It does the job .. next time I will ampersand (&) it and you will
have to at least list the processes, but will you be able to tell which

What about the ASCII beeps!?  People hate ASCII beeps.  An endless
stream of them would be motivation enough for anyone to wake up (just
ask jake, who sometimes uses a perl script on the box in my room that
'walls' messages that say 'wake up!' infinitely.. His ssh session
usually dies shortly after that).

Excellent idea.  Let's make an alarm clock out of an mp3 player:

ooops, someone already did it!  Here's the command to install it:

emerge xmms-alarm
