I use beep: http://johnath.com/beep/ And Audio::Beep (CPAN should have it). Then I found a simple play script (think it came with the CPAN module): #!/usr/bin/perl -w # use this program to play the examples in this directory # use: ./beep_player.pl music_file use strict; use Audio::Beep; undef $/; my $beeper = Audio::Beep->new(); $beeper->play(<>); ----------------- Here are the alert sounds I made. This works with a more complicated system to give me a simple audio cue of script success (across multiple servers world-wide). It plays from a small machine I tucked in my closet (it didn't have a sound card, so I came up with this). Thing is - it actually works! It has saved my bacon a few times. ~/music# cat alerts/begin \rel \bpm244 a12, a a a a a12' a' a' a12' a' a' ~/music# cat alerts/success \rel \bpm244 c12 f, c' f' c' c12 f, c' f' c' c12 f, c' f' c' ~/music# cat alerts/error \norel \bpm244 \transpose'' a12' a a a a r2 a12' a a a a r1 a12' a a a a r2 a12'' a' a' a' a' a' a' a' r1 a12' a a a a r2 a12'' a' a' a' a' a' a' a' r1 Then just call ./beep_player alerts/sucess. Hope this helps. -Ryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
