First of all, always assume I'm an idiot. I have no idea what I'm doing.



Here's the deal, I wanna play a prank at work and I've got a Raspberry PI.
What I was thinking of doing is to make the PI play a sound at a specific time in the middle of the night, like a fart or something, we're located in a massive Datacenter and the echo is amazing...



I've got crontab -e going with the following scheduled;



.# * 20 * * * /home/pi/test.mp3
(Had to ad a dot in the beginning otherwise the forum just made it BOLD)



but it doesn't work.
I've tried googling but the technical language is going straight over my head.



Can someone please help me?



Best Regards,
Christian
