playing short tune via beep

[John Heim]

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.
