Audiable Alarm

Just started experimenting with the heartbeat package.  Seems real nice.

Question: How could I make the failover node generate an audiable alarm   
(say with the system speaker) every second or so when it's in failover   
mode?  For instance, maybe add a script that reapeats a 'wall "Failover"'   
or 'printf "\a"' every second when the node is in failover and then   
terminates it when it's returned the IP.

Thanks!
