Here is the startup sound from ipcop for an example.

# Send nice startup beep now
/usr/bin/beep -l 75 -f 500
/usr/bin/beep -l 75 -f 1000
/usr/bin/beep -l 75 -f 2000
/usr/bin/beep -l 75 -f 3000

And on shutdown it does it reversed.

# Send nice shutdown beep now
/usr/bin/beep -l 75 -f 3000
/usr/bin/beep -l 75 -f 2000
/usr/bin/beep -l 75 -f 1000
/usr/bin/beep -l 75 -f 500
