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.	 Mul-
	      tiple 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/doc/isdnutils/README.debian).
