Audiable Alarm

[Kirk Lawson]

OK, after much work and no small amount of frustration, I have come up   
with a "solution."

It's entirely /bin/sh script based, but does create a "daemon" that will   
beep and is start/stopped from a /etc/rc.d/init.d control prog.  I've   
even managed to cobble together a quick (and dirty) installation script.

It's not sophisticated.  It's not pretty.  But it works.

Where should I stick the .z so that better coders than I can fix this   
cludge solution?

If you define a resource (a script) that produces an audiable alarm
then this can be specified in the ha-resources file and will
be started and stoped.
