[CentOS] how to create a boot up sound / chime for servers?
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? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stugg

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. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

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. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stugg
