vboxbeep

vboxbeep(1)						    Linux System Administration 					       vboxbeep(1)

NAME

       vboxbeep - isdn voice box (beeper)

SYNOPSIS

       vboxbeep [OPTION] [OPTION] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       vboxbeep is a daemon, that watches several message directories. If new messages are found it will beep. Vboxbeep does not use vboxd, it can
       only watch local directories.

       Vboxbeep is also used to stop this annoying beep.

OPTIONS

       Without any options, vboxbeep will signal an already running vboxbeep to stop its beep. Only root can start it as daemon.

       -s, --sound HOURS
	      Hours to play beep signal. Use 24 hour format, like 0-23. Multiple hours can be given separated by commas, a "*" is used for always,
	      "-" for never.

       -m, --messagebox DIR
	      Message directory to scan. You can use this option several times.

       -p, --pause SECS
	      Time to wait between every check. Default is 5 seconds.

       -k, --kill
	      Kill a running vboxbeep. This option can only be used by root.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.

NOTE

       vboxbeep  will  only work if it is installed suid root. This may be a security hole, so many distributions do not install it suid root, and
       thus it's useless. If you want to enable vboxbeep, please read the distribution-specific documentation how to do  that  (e.g.  with  debian
       gnu/linux read /usr/doc/isdnutils/README.debian).
