Usage:- [./]shush.sh <time in seconds from 18 to 2700> [sensitivity [Hh|Mm|Ll]]<CR>

If time is omitted it defaults to 2 bursts of 9 seconds each and if sensitivity is omitted defaults to [M]edium.

It uses Quicktime Player for Apple OSX 10.12.4 minimum /dev/dsp for CygWin and some Linux flavours and arecored for Linux ALSA machines for baby awake detector.

Upon the two arguments the white noise generator runs for approximately the time given in $1 in bursts of 9 seconds until the time limit is reached. $2 is used to detect of baby is awake and reruns the noise generator again with a new noise waveform.

2012-07-10T17:27:48-07:00

Python recipe 578204 by Stephen Chappell (alarm, archive, clock, old, utility).

After writing a few alarms using winsound.Beep, desire to expand into other sound possibilities led to the writing of this program using winsound.PlaySound. The sounds are stored in a custom format (some experimentation in archiving files). This is committed for archival to be run under Python 2.5 or later versions.

Queue for managing multiple SIGALRM alarms concurrently (Python)

2012-12-06T18:58:11-08:00

Python recipe 577600 by Glenn Eychaner (alarm, queue, signal). Revision 3.

In asynchronous code, signal.alarm() is extremely useful for setting and handling timeouts and other timed and periodic tasks. It has a major limitation, however, that only one alarm function and alarm time can be set at a time; setting a new alarm disables the previous alarm. This package uses a heapq to maintain a queue of alarm events, allowing multiple alarm functions and alarm times to be set concurrently.
