I thought it would be fun to play a sound when connecting to a network of some sort (wireless or otherwise), kind of like the dial-up sounds of yesteryear.EDIT: Clarification: when connecting to the network, so the sound starts playing when the connection attempt is initiated, and stops when the connection is successfully establishedA google doesn't bring up anything obvious..Any ideas? (I'm willing to [attempt to] write a plugin or something, if someone could point me in the right direction)
Play sound when connecting to network
networking;audio
For example, if you are using a mechanism such as /etc/network/interfaces (in Debian and its derivatives) to bring network interfaces up, you can launch a script with the pre-up hook, and kill the script with the post-up hook. This script would generate sound continuously, probably by playing a sound file in a loop.I'm not aware if there is a way to attach commands to more high level systems like Network Manager.
