Wakeup call using /bin/sh and at(8)

Using at(8), I can schedule jobs to occur, say, when I need to wake up.

nightfall(~) % atq
Date                            Owner           Queue   Job#
Thu Jul 13 07:30:00 PDT 2006    jls             c       14
Thu Jul 13 08:00:00 PDT 2006    jls             c       15
Thu Jul 13 08:20:00 PDT 2006    jls             c       16

All of those jobs run my 'wakeup.sh' script which is somewhat primitive, but it does the job.

Using this script: scripts/wakeup.sh

Heh, nice idea. I use at to start playing music really loud when I need to get up. Depending on the music I choose it works more or less (Slayer works quite well while I tend to oversleep stuff like Air or Tool).
