NAME

       vboxbeep - isdn voice box (beeper)

SYNOPSIS

       vboxbeep [OPTION] [OPTION] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       vboxbeep  is  a daemon, that watches several message directories. 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 running 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
              commas, 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 seconds.

       -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/share/doc/isdnutils/README.Debian).
