Hi

I see some distro's, like Ubuntu has a nice short chime / sound when a machine is fully booted.
How / where can I setup, activate, or create such a boot up sound?

Do you want something using the system speaker, or the soundcard?
If through system speaker, there is a utility called "beep" (http://www.johnath.com/beep/) You can put it at the end of rc.sysinit (or just call it last in whatever way you see fit) and not only beep, but play tunes. Only limited by your imagination.

Awesome, thanx :) Google didn't turn up anything usable. And yes, I want to use the system speaker, since it will be on servers, which generally don't have monitors, nor external speakers on the soundcard.

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

This script works so well, thank you :)
