Thanks. That's pretty close to what I was hoping for.I'm setting up a bunch of servers that I'll be monitoring via nagios and snmp. The nagios server is in my office so i want it to beep distinctively depending on what is wrong. I guess i'll have to experiment with beep until I get what I want. I started doing that but it's kind of a pain. So examples like yours help.
I've also been toying with the idea of connecting a modem to the nagios server and having it call my cell if something is really, really wrong. I could easily get it to dial the phone but I have no idea how to send some kind of audio file. i would imagine that's possible since telemarketers do it all the time.

I'm cleaning out my mailbox and came across this somewhat old post ... John Heim writes:I'm writing a script to alert me if a server gets too hot. I'd like it toplay a couple of different short tunes via the beep command depending on the temperature. Anybody have any beep recipes?I define the following in my /etc/bashrc, then simply use wherever: alias beep0="beep -f 330 -l 100 -d1 -n -f 277 -l 100 -d1 -n -f 330 -l 100 -d 1 -n -f 440 -l 330" alias beep1="beep -f 55 -l 40 -d 1 -r 3" alias beep2="beep -f 988 -l 180 -d 33 -n -f 831 -l 110" hth Janina _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list redhat com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
