This is a nice idea. Unfortunately alarm() makes no noise on my
system---I guess it's some small configuration issue---, but this
reminds me of system(). So one can do something similar:
<>=
system("play /tmp/03Miserere.ogg")
@
It makes the LyX status bar go crazy, but otherwise seems to work just fine.
I'm wondering: does LyX have a LFUN_SYSTEM_COMMAND or similar that
would allow to execute arbitrary system commands?

I think these are all very nice ideas, but the question is: how difficult would
it be to include a
notifier in LyX to notify the user when the update is finished. In my opinion,
this would be a
useful addition and shouldn't be to difficult to implement.
In the meantime, you could use a scrip instead the default viewer which
a) plays a sound (or use a music ploayer to play your favourite tune?)
b) launches the viewer you want

Re: play sound when (lengthy) compilation finishes?
Or add a last code chunk in Sweave:
<>=
alarm() # equivalent to cat('\a')
@
or use the twitteR pacakge to send yourself a twitter message when it is done...

Re: play sound when (lengthy) compilation finishes?
you can always use LyX from the command line, something like lyx yourfile.lyx && echo $'\a' No?

So I guess that we have now is just fine when the user stays glued to the computer. In my case I'm launching some heavy computations in R, and would thus like to go do something else until the document compiles. Unless there is some audio notification, I can only rely on the noise made by the laptop fans, not a terribly reliable indicator. Liviu
