The script was something like: #!/bin/bash export ESPEAKER=10.2.0.81 esdplay /usr/local/hobbit/server/ext/alerts/somethingwrong.wav With 10.2.0.81 being the location of the ESD server. For setup of the server, take a look at: http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/EsounD.html It's probably installed though. I started it with something like: esd -promiscuous -tcp -public Make sure to actually turn the sound on, using one of the mixers.

I'm presuming you want the sound in the browser, not on the server. In web/bb_header, insert after the line beginning " Put red.wav, green.wav, purple.wav, and yellow.wav in the Hobbit www directory. I use .wav as an example only. The browser, of course, must have a sound plug-in that handles the type sound file used or it will do something like put up a "Plug in needed" bar. Firefox 2.0 on XP will foreground every time the page reloads (on my office machine, anyway), IE 6 will not. YMMV. Offer void where prohibited.

Works fine. However, you might want to replace the default of Homer Simpson yelling an expletive (RED) with something more appropriate. In our environment, we use Tom Hanks' line for "Apollo 13" - "Houston, we have a problem" - to indicate RED status; and the "all systems functioning normally" computer tag line from the original Star Trek TV series to indicate return to GREEN status. Yes, it's true. I am an uber-geek.
