One of our key systems has been configured to create a sound for an alert on the system. We have setup several alerts on this system. The sound driver used on this system is from OSS. Now, what happens when multiple alerts are set off at the same time? Do the alerts get queued to the driver? When I tested with 2 simulataneous alerts, I got the following message on the console, sox: Unable to set audio speed to 8000 (set to 5512) Now, when I tried to set off 3 alerts at the sametime, I get the following message, sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': Device or resource busy Has anyone tried to setup this type of alert system? If you succeeded, please let me know how you did it. I do wish to be notified for each alert on this system. I would like our busy sys admins, know what is happening on this system while they are working on neighbouring systems. Thank you in advance for any ideas. -- Subba Rao subb3 at attglobal.net http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/ => Time is relative.
