My Notes

Welcome to my blog. This is my latest post.

Use Linux/Desktop as a baby rocker

This lazy Ubuntu geek used his desktop the correct way - as a baby rocker. Here's how it works. The CD drive is attached to the cradle, and opens and closes periodically, thus rocking the cradle.

What you need:

1. Desktop running Linux. The CD drive must work.
2. This shell script baby_rocker.sh

   while [1 = 1] do      
   
       #eject cdrom
       eject
   
       #pull cdrom tray back in      
       eject -t
   
   done
   

3. Run the script from the terminal.
