I have been looking into this for a while. Basically, if you have a SSH tunnel open for your VNC connection (which you are doing, right) you can direct the appropriate alert through the tunnel to the client on the other side.
A good place to look, at least for the Linux/Unix side, is NAS: http://radscan.com/nas.html Here is a website with some other sound server links for *nix: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1676 For Windows, it looks like you only bet is to use a 3rd-party software. You can use something like MessagePopupII 1.5 (check download.com). Lastly, go to this site to read about how to make a quick batch file that causes PCs to emit a beep sound: http://www.winntmag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=3131&pg=1&show=656 You could use several of the available remote application run scripts: http://krolik.net/rerun.shtml http://techsupt.winbatch.com/TS/T000001002F15.html to force the server to run the beep batch script remotely on the client...again, through the SSH tunnel. Some ideas to try...
