Thanks to the list, I am now able to play an audio sound and recording from my Fedora 5 box to warn out our night crew of a problem (play [filename].wav/ogg). I also would like to connect a warning light or strobe to the system to provide visual warning. In addition to lan, I have serial and usb ports available on my system. Does anyone know of such a product? And how to trigger it to alert from Fedora? Needless to say, also need way to turn if off from the Fedora.
