Countdown until stop work

Description

Countdown minutes then do something.

Usage

workTimer(
  minutes = 25,
  outcome = "lock",
  con = "",
  timerMessage = "time until explosion: ",
  finalMessage = "IT'S OVER!"
)

Arguments

minutes	numeric
outcome	character naming one of "lock", "alarm", or "nothing"
con	character naming output text file
timerMessage	character display before countdown timer
finalMessage	character display when countdown expired

Details

What happens when to the time expires is specified by the outcome argument.

• “lock” locks the screen

• “alarm” plays an alarm sound

• “nothing” nothing happens

If con is set to an empty character string the output is printed to the console. If a file is named the output is printing to a file, replacing the contents.

The outcome value “alarm” requires that VLC be installed at C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe on Windows. On Linux it requires vlc to be on the PATH. On Macos it expects VLC to be installed at /Applications/VLC.app.
