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 :)
I always try to please! ;-)

Interestingly enough, it doesn't work on the Xen kernel. I suppose it
has todo with the drivers not being installed on Xen?
