I need a sound played 10 minutes before each hour during the work day, such that it does not interfere with what’s on the screen, grab the mouse, or grab the keyboard. Scheduling it with cron is easy, but I can’t seem to get the sound to play reliably. I’m currently using: /usr/bin/play --no-show-progress --volume .5 /opt/trinity/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Connect.ogg Sometimes that plays other times it’s silent. I’ve also tried: kaboodle /opt/trinity/share/sounds/KDE_Event_2.ogg Which always plays, but I don’t know how to start it either minimized, closed to the system tray, or some other way so it doesn’t cause issues. I’ve seen some hokey solutions using wmctrl and/or xdotool, but they still pop up the program (kaboodle) before minimizing it. AV isn’t really my forte, and I don’t really care what program works, does anyone have experience doing something like this?
