ClockChimes-0.3 Released

ClockChimes is a SlackBuild package for Slackware Linux. It creates a cron job that runs a sox based bash script. The script plays clock chime sound files based on the system time on the quarter hour, half hour, three-quarter hour and top of the hour. As of v0.3 the script plays multiple chime types:

  • Ave Maria
  • Voice sample
  • Westminster (default)
  • Whittington

Clock

The package installs a config file: /etc/clockchimes.conf. The config file enables the selection of:

  • chime type
  • play either, or both, chimes and strikes
  • increase or decrease volume

The package has sample KDE desktop files that enable single-click changing of the chime type played. The files can be found at /usr/doc/clockchimes-0.3/kde/ and copied to the KDE desktop:

  • Ave Maria.desktop
  • Voice Sample.desktop
  • Westminster Chimes.desktop
  • Whittington Chimes.desktop

The package installs a crontab file: /etc/cron.d/clockchimes The crontab runs the script on:

  • 00, 15, 30 & 45 minute

The package no longer modifies /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root file. Instead the package installs /etc/cron.d/clockchimes as the controlling crontab. The user no longer has to manually remove crontab entries after an uninstall of clockchimes-03 or greater.
