Turn your laptop to alarm clock

I bumped into an article describing rtcwake here, so I thought it will be cool to write a nice wrapper script around it. \ It was also an excuse to master some more bash scripting and the use of "date" command.

There are many many other implementations for rtcwake script, like here for example, and I've seen some other cases in the Ubuntu forums, after I finished writing mine. So with out further a do, here is my solution, which is easy to use:\

#!/bin/bash
