Bob!!!
There are MANY ways to do this on a computer.

One such simple way is first convert the duration you are thinking of
to seconds, then issue this command to your shell

sleep xxxxxx   # where xxxxxx is the number of seconds
aplay  <Your Audio File>

In the past if I wanted to time a process in the darkroom or the kitchen I had a wind up timer, twist the dial to 27 minutes or whatever I wanted and a bell would ring when that time had elapsed. Certainly by today a Fedora computer should be able to do that basic task forme.

I would be happy typing a line inxterm that would run aplay some.wav at the end of the period. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Until recently I have used xfce4-timer but that has never been as convenient as I would like and recently I have had problems with it.

Any suggestions will be appreciated,

Bob
