SYNOPSIS

9       vboxbeep [OPTION] [OPTION] [...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       vboxbeep  is a daemon, that watches several message directories. If new
13       messages are found it will beep. Vboxbeep does not use  vboxd,  it  can
14       only watch local directories.
15
16       Vboxbeep is also used to stop this annoying beep.
17

OPTIONS

19       Without  any  options, vboxbeep will signal an already running vboxbeep
20       to stop its beep. Only root can start it as daemon.
21
22       -s, --sound HOURS
23              Hours to play beep signal. Use 24 hour format, like 0-23. Multi‐
24              ple  hours  can  be given separated by commas, a "*" is used for
25              always, "-" for never.
26
27       -m, --messagebox DIR
28              Message directory to scan.  You  can  use  this  option  several
29              times.
30
31       -p, --pause SECS
32              Time to wait between every check. Default is 5 seconds.
33
34       -k, --kill
35              Kill a running vboxbeep. This option can only be used by root.

38              Show summary of options.
39
40       -v, --version
41              Show version of program.
42

NOTE

44       vboxbeep  will  only  work  if it is installed suid root. This may be a
45       security hole, so many distributions do not install it suid  root,  and
46       thus it's useless. If you want to enable vboxbeep, please read the dis‐
47       tribution-specific documentation how  to  do  that  (e.g.  with  debian
48       gnu/linux read /usr/doc/isdnutils/README.debian).
