I wrote a little timer application and I would like it to play a
sound when the timer has counted down to 0.

You could always try RubyCocoa. From the main page (http://
rubycocoa.sourceforge.net/doc/):

The next script plays all the system sounds.

require 'osx/cocoa'
snd_files =`ls /System/Library/Sounds/*.aiff`.split
snd_files.each do |path|
snd = OSX::NSSound.alloc.
initWithContentsOfFile_byReference (path, true)
snd.play
sleep 0.5
end

exec "osascript -e 'beep 1'"

Or, better yet, get ahold of osx/aeosa and use those bindings.

cin >> blocks. cin is basically the same thing as gets. I guess I will
just use a thread, but it seems kind of pointless to make the processor
have to schedule just for input.

This is awesome! Thank you!

I hope you never want to return after beeping

It isn't so much that I never want to return as that I want to become
one with the osascript and exit after beeping =3D)

My bad, meant 'system' not 'exec'; too much tcl in my past.
