### INSTRUCTIONS ###
First, you need to install runit and snooze(it is used as an alternative to cron and systemd timers). On Debian descendants you do:
$ sudo apt install runit snooze
If you don't have git, install it:
$ sudo apt install git
Then, you need to download this repo as it contains everything that I used to get runit up and running(if you haven't already of course)
$ git clone https://codeberg.org/AwesomeAdam54321/LL_Runit_Scripts
There should be a folder in your current directory called "LL_Runit_Scripts". Do "cd LL_Runit_Scripts" to cd into it.
Runit services should be long running services, but oneshot services exist, so the pause executable is used to implement oneshot functionality in runit. You need to compile pause.c because
it isn't worth making a package for it as it's source code is so short. The produced executable should be discoverable from your $PATH, preferably in /usr/local/bin as it's compiled. You can use any C compiler
to compile it but I used GCC(You probably need root privileges to alter system directories):
$ sudo gcc pause.c -o /usr/local/bin/pause
To test that it succeeded, type pause and hit Enter. It should "pause" the terminal you were running. To stop, do Ctrl-C as that will send a kill signal to the process.
You need to add your user name (the output of the whoami command) to the USER= variable in sv/pulseaudio-daemon/conf.
$ nano sv/pulseaudio-daemon/conf
Change this line from this
USER=
To filling it with your user name
USER="Your user name here"
then save.
