Play mp3 sound effect on repeat until user closes notification

[omnigenous]

Just read my week old post: #1380 and realized it's not clear at all what I was trying to achieve.

I'm making an alarm bash script and I got stuck on one part. I want to play a sound effect (mp3 file) when time is due on repeat until user closes notification manually (I will use notify-send -t 0 ...)

Not sure if clarification of my use case helps.

Within rules you can specify a script to be run every time the rule is matched by assigning the 'script' option to the name of the script to be run.

you could add a dunstrc rule to match your notif and make a custom script like

sleep $timeout
play sound ...

[mynotif]
appname = myapp
script = ./sound-script 

I thing something along these lines should work. I will close your other issue so we can talk here

That's where I'm at right now, don't see the benefit of having dunst rule for this instead of just playing the sound inside the script that calls notify-send.

But how do I stop playing sound once dunst notification is dismissed manually by the user?
