Just in a terminal, this should work:
sleep 600 ; aplay some.wav
That will sleep for 600 seconds then play some.wav. The
man page for sleep can give you details on how to specify
different time units, etc.

°after a lot of "googling" my solution so far is:
$ cat /home/bobg/apps/timer-test
#!/bin/bash
# /home/bobg/apps/timer-test
echo -e "Enter Minutes: "
read Minutes
echo "$Minutes"
time (echo T-elapsed;sleep $Minutes;aplay audio/login.wav;aplay
audio/login.wav;aplay audio/login.wav)
I know to put an "m" in my entry to get minutes, else it will see
seconds. This works for me from an xfce icon. However I am out of my
element here and suggestions for improvement are appreciated.
