Baby-sitting bash script using DVD drive This is the script I wrote to make an automated POC baby-sitter in 5 lines.

I first found this on a GIF or meme site and thought of making a POC script that does the same.



#How Linux users babysit
while : 
do
    eject
    eject -t
done


I don't know aything about bash. So, I want improvements.

You can find the origin and the script at

These days a -T (toggle) argument exists. That allows us to make this a lot neater:

watch -n0 eject -T


You can alter the delay between rocks by changing the -n0 argument.


  watch is used to run any designated command at regular intervals.
