Couldn't find it, but doesnt matter; it was using the date command which isn't installed on the developer image.
So I thought hey, let's try something for the shell.
I came whith the following script which will wait till the alarm time has been reached before exiting.
This can be used in the init script like this :

#!/bin/bash



mount -n -o remount,ro /

/bin/mount -n -o nocheck,rw /proc

/bin/mount -n -o nocheck,ro /dev/hda4 /drive0

[ -e /proc/ide/hd[bc] ] && mount -n -o nocheck,ro /dev/hdc1 /drive1



ALARM="06:00"



while :

do

     /empeg/bin/player

     while [ "$TIME" != "$ALARM" ]

     do

        TIME=`export PS1=\\\\t;export TMOUT=59;bash -i < /dev/ttyS0 2>&1 >/dev/null`

        TIME=`echo $TIME`

        TIME=${TIME##* }

        TIME=${TIME%:*}

     done

done

After selecting the quit command in the player's menu, it will keep waiting until the alarm time has expired. after that it will startup the player app again.
