Why is it so hard to find a simple application for Linux that will wake me up at a certain time? Am I expected to write it out myself?while true; do
i=`date +%H%M%S`
if [[ $i = "063000" ]]; then
play bring_me_to_life.ogg
fi
done
So I can do that, but wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a GUI app I could use that would give me more options like snooze etc. and could start up when I log in?
I found two but they both suffer from fatal code errors I'd rather not have to learn C to fix.

Because people typically don't use their computers as alarm clocks.
Use your phone or some shit.

That is surprisingly similar to how I started out too.
Then I put it in cron and created an acpi script so that pressing the power button killed play

Normally I would, but it looks like there's some copper missing from the micro usb port and it's not taking a charge. Also someone stole my alarm clock. It might be easier to keep running my script every night than it would to figure out how to buy a new port and a screwdriver to install it with a $5 bill.
