Ogg123 or mpg123 (I think that’s how they’re spelled? Can’t double check atm.) or even xmms, a few different sound files, and the Jack sound system I think would be where to start on that. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Also the Festival speech synthesis system is designed to be able to accept “say text” requests from networked clients. It’s quite a pain to set up and hogs the sound card for itself when it runs, but could be used to speak the hostnames in trouble. “Speech-Dispatcher” is another synthesis program that’s much easier to use, but is single-system only unless you plug it into Festival (which it is built to be able to do through an output module if you get the Festival-enabled package).<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Good luck,<o:p></o:p> -- Brian<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Richard Harman Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 11:31 PM To: Rusch, Daniel Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Sound an alarm<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Serial interface? Alarm clock? Wow. Leave it to the EEs to whip out a soldering iron. ;) Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm in the process of replacing a WhatsUpGold box (that already makes noise and has a decent pair of speakers that can be heard throughout the entire OPS floor) with Nagios, and here's my solution to the same problem: <tt>misccommands.cfg:</tt> <tt>define command {</tt> <tt> command_name host-notify-by-sound</tt> <tt> command_line $USER2$/notify_by_sound $HOSTSTATE$</tt> <tt>}</tt> <tt>notify_by_sound:</tt> <tt>#!/usr/bin/perl</tt> <tt>use strict;</tt> <tt>use warnings;</tt> <tt>my ($status) = @ARGV;</tt> <tt>if ($status eq "DOWN" || $status eq "UNREACHABLE")</tt> <tt>{ system("/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H windows.box.running.nrpe-nt -c sfx_hostdown"); }</tt> <tt>else</tt> <tt>{ system("/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H windows.box.running.nrpe-nt -c sfx_hostup"); }</tt> <tt>sfx_hostdown.cmd:</tt> <tt>@echo off</tt> <tt>sndrec32 /play /cluse "c:\nrpe\host_down.wav":</tt> <tt>echo Command completed successfully</tt> <tt>exit 0</tt> HTH!
