Thanks. That's pretty close to what I was hoping for.

I'm setting up a bunch of servers that  I'll be monitoring via nagios and
snmp. The nagios server is in my office so i want it to beep distinctively
depending on what is wrong.  I guess i'll have to experiment with beep
until I get what I want. I started doing that but it's kind of a pain. So
examples like yours help.


Anytime.

When I was creating these, I had a list of frequencies that
corresponding, approximately, to musical pitches. So, I would simply
invent melodic fragments and play with durations until it seemed about
what I wanted.


I've also been toying with the idea of connecting a modem to the nagios
server and having it call my cell if something is really, really wrong. I
could easily get it to dial the phone but I have no idea how to send some
kind of audio file. i would imagine that's possible since telemarketers do
it all the time.

Do you ave accessible texting on your phone? You might more easily use
a SMS gateway to send a text message. If you did that, you wouldn't need
a payload in any telephone call. Your modem reinging your phone could
simply function as an alarm. And, you'd know who the call came from via
caller ID, so you'd know to check your SMS for the situation message.

I'm cleaning out my mailbox and came across this somewhat old post ...

I'm writing a script to alert  me if a server gets too hot. I'd like it
to
play a couple of different short tunes via the beep command depending on
the temperature. Anybody have any beep recipes?


I define the following in my /etc/bashrc, then simply use wherever:

alias beep0="beep -f 330 -l 100 -d1 -n -f 277 -l 100 -d1 -n -f 330 -l
100 -d 1 -n -f 440 -l 330"
alias beep1="beep -f 55 -l 40 -d 1 -r 3"
alias beep2="beep -f 988 -l 180 -d 33 -n -f 831 -l 110"
