|
||
|
.SH "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.
|
||
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
Without any options, vboxbeep will signal an already running vboxbeep to
|
||
|
stop its beep. Only root can start it as daemon.

||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-s, \-\-sound HOURS
|
||
|

|
||
|
never.

.SH 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).
