Also helpful for the script you're going to have to write is a line like:

	mythutil --bcastaddr 0.0.0.0 --notification --message_text "30 minutes" --timeout 10 --type check

to put up a brief notification that the sleeper script has seen the request and what the current sleep time is. I forget the units for the timeout parameter, just experiment.
