There is a java app that writes directly to the pulseaudio MASTER channel at

audio, waits 6 more seconds and unmutes the audio.

Personally I do not use cron anymore, I use system timer units.
Then I can look in the journal —user for all logs from the service.


Thanks Barry,

Exposed me to systemd timers.

Project ended up with 2 timer/service pairs: mute and unmute

Each has two OnCalendar rules: one for morning timings, the other afternoons.

A further dig into pulseaudio utils and sounds ease away twice a day.

Nice...
