Is there a timer command for the Linux terminal?

Use "man time" in a Linux terminal (without the quotes) to view the manual page for time. There are commands to show elapsed time a program runs, when a program is to start, etc. For a simple example, this 'Egg Timer' command: echo -e '\a' >&2; sleep 180; echo -e '\a' >72 will show a blank terminal for 180 seconds. Or 3 minutes, (which is enough to cook a soft-boiled egg!).
