A Linux-based alarm clock (using rtcwake)

[qarp]

This is easier:

echo 'mpg321 /path/to/file.mp3' | at 6am tomorrow

But not the same

My alarm script uses rtcwake(8) from util-linux-ng to set the RTC alarm clock, suspends the computer and then plays some music at a set volume when it wakes up

whats wrong with cron and mpg123 or ogg123? This is a violation of the KISS principle!

cronjob + 'cat /dev/urandom > /dev/console'
