vboxbeep - isdn voice box (beeper)
SYNOPSIS
vboxbeep [OPTION] [OPTION] [...]
DESCRIPTION
vboxbeep is a daemon, that watches several message direc
tories. 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 run
ning 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 com
mas, 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 sec
onds.
-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).
