Nautical bell: Difference between revisions

The task is to write a small program that emulates a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship%27s_bell#Number_of_bellsTiming_of_duty_periods nautical bell]] producing a ringing bell pattern at certain times throughout the day.

The bell timestiming should be in accordance with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMT Greenwich Mean Time]], unless locale dictates otherwise.

It is permissible for the program to [[Run as a daemon|daemonize]], or to slave off a scheduler, and it is permissible to use alternative notification methods (such as producing a written notice "Two Bells Gone"), if these are more usual for the system type.
