added linux shell script - george.sh

[attempt 2, now with correct author metadata]

Relatively simple linux shell script added for local use. Timing calculations are different to the JS method, but the end result is within a fraction of a second for the beeps. Future improvements idea: limit how many loops it runs to suit intermittent running from cron.

Hi @EarthNative, I love the idea of a CLI version. I can't get it to run, as it turns out the time command has different parameters in Mac OSX. I don't currently have Linux installed anywhere, so haven't been able to test yet. I'll get back to you when I do.

time command? date?

but yeah, it's a very first draft script - relies on "mpv" (fork of mplayer) for playing the audio, and I didn't put any fallbacks in. I got it working to local satisfaction and figured other bugs could be resolved as they're encountered! :D

...It also relies on some possibly non-universal things such as the ability for sleep to handle floating point...

I've got an OSX install I'll poke at it with too :)

Oh sorry, I meant date.
