Who says shell scripting has to be terribly painful? The code is actually quite readable. I especially like the use of the subshell to trigger SIGALRM, I would never have thought of that myself.
What's surprising is how short the script is.
Anyhow, it doesn't work on my box. I'm guessing it's a unicode thing. What should LANG be? What terminal program do I need to use (it's not working in gnome-terminal as the site says)? What font? What else?
