I am recording audio tapes to wav files using gramofile.  I'd like to be
able to walk away and automatically shut down the process without
corrupting the wav file.  I know the tape duration so I was planning to
use the following script.  I'd appreciate a better or more refined
approach:

(sleep 2700; killall gramofile)
