    Well, I don't know anything about that; I've been looking for a
similar tool for many years...maybe this is it.

    Several years ago I approached various programmers wanting something
to 'grep' a log and play a sound when a certain pattern is heard.  Sure,
it'd be uber-cool to have a server make the nautical sound when someone
PINGs a server...but more importantly a knocking sound when someone
generates a packet meant to test the firewall.

    I'm going to investigate it, maybe this IS the program I've been
looking for.  I'd sure make dealing with server farms a little easier...
and fun.
