Countdown

A simple shell countdown timer.

Features

Creates a temporary file so the current status can be used in other scripts (e.g. a dwm status bar).
Alerts the user with a notification.
Can run multiple instances of the script at the same time.

git clone https://codeberg.org/marc/countdown.git

cd countdown

chmod u+x countdown

./countdown

Optionally add this to your .bashrc/.zshrc/whatever so it can be run from anywhere (replace SOME-FILE-PATH).

alias countdown='SOME-FILE-PATH/countdown/countdown'

You can run countdown with 3 arguments corresponding to hours, minutes, and seconds:

$ ./countdown 1 30 5
1:30:5
1:30:4
1:30:3
...

Alternatively, if you run the script with less than 3 arguments, you will be prompted for the hours, minutes, and seconds:

$ ./countdown
Hours: 1
Minutes: 30
Seconds: 5
1:30:5
1:30:4
1:30:3
...

If you want to stop the countdown, you can run

kill countdown
