Fast and easy way of setting a reminder for yourself, while working
in the command line:
( sleep 10 && echo -e "Tea is ready\a" ) &10 is a number of secons to wait until fire up the alarm, "-e" argument to echo forces it to see the "\a" sequence, which is an alarm bell. - submitted by Leonid Mamtchenkov
