alarms
Hi

I have been trying to set up alarms on my Solaris box (Sun OS 5.8)
The objective is to present the user an audible alarm every hour or so.
I have so far done this:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
val=1
while [ $val -lt 30 ]
do
   printf "\a"
   val=`expr $val + 1`
done

I have put this in my crontab to run hourly.
So far I get nothing. Where am I wrong??

Alarms/Alerts

Is there a imbedded command (Solaris v8 ksh) that will send an administrative alert/alarm. Or is it just triggering a mail message via shell script? If no, is there a good open-source code someone knows about? Thanks so much in advance for any replies. ...Gozer13 (3 Replies)
