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).
