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:

Desktop running Linux. The CD drive must work.

This shell script baby_rocker.sh

while [1 = 1] do      

    #eject cdrom
    eject

    #pull cdrom tray back in      
    eject -t

done

Run the script from the terminal.

This looks geeky cool. Poor CD-ROM probably would fail quickly as they are not designed for this purpose.
