It seems there might be a market for a "diagnostic light panel"... an
bank of 3-color LEDs, a PC connection, and some script/API programmable
controls of course. Then you could have massive banks of lights, each
indicating whatever YOU wanted! I would buy one.

I can see it now... a syslog message (duly reported by LogWatch):
Dec 10 22:12:37 kernel: sodad[3412]: Soda rack 1 state LOW!"
as one of the myriad green LED's changes to yellow and starts blinking
slowly....

Dec 10 22:34:09 kernel: sodad[3412]: Soda tray 1 state EMPTY! Refill!"
Fast red blink LED...

Anyone know of a hack for those scrolling message signs that could be
easily controlled from Linux?

Then someone could write a dockable applet...
