Stop mediaplayer / radio with sleep or timer shell script

While waiting for the a solution to the question https://together.jolla.com/question/3607/music-player-sleep-function-with-timer/ it would be useful to be able to stop or close the mediaplayer (music player) or the internet radio through a simple bash shell script.

Could someone please review and improve the following simple bash script? I called it "sleepaudio.sh", it runs as nemo user (perms 755) and just kills the mediaplayer/quickradio processes after a given sleeptime of X minutes. Would be nice, if I knew how to run this shell script from the GUI instead of starting it from the command line on the terminal. Any hint?

#!/bin/bash 
sleeptime=$((10*60))
if [ $# -eq 0 ] 
then 
   sleeptime=$(($1*60))
fi 
sleep $sleeptime 
killall -9 jolla-mediaplayer 
killall -9 harbour-quickradio
