shalarm is a bash script that uses a pre-installed media player to act as an alarm clock, by using said media player to play a sound file over and over.
While this script will attempt to behave a certain way by default, it also installs a configuration file to /etc/shalarm.cfg.
This script requires a pre-installed media player, and it assumes a CLI-based interface (such as mplayer, aplay, etc.). When searching for a program, it favors ‘mplayer’.
This is an alternate version of eAlarm.

- Set a test alarm.
