[artix-general] My alarm clock is now broken and I am desperate to fix this ASAP

[Ruben Safir]

Evidently now I can not run a sound program through cron

SHELL = /bin/sh
CRON_TZ = 'America/New_York'
34 19 * * * /usr/bin/amixer -c 0 set Master playback 100\% >> /dev/null
35 19 * * * /usr/bin/mplayer /home/ruben/docs/Rav\ Shorr\ Shium/*mp3 >>
/dev/null
40 05 * * * /usr/bin/killall mplayer >> /dev/null
40 05 * * * /usr/bin/amixer -c 0 set Master playback 70\% >> /dev/null
~

This has worked for DECADES

Now
