RE: Beep when the screen changes

[Alan Campin <Alan.Campin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Assuming use of current CA client. Goto Appearance, click "Display Setup",
click Sound and click on "Update Alarm". Will beep everytime anything
changes on the AS/400 screen and it is not the active window. 

Will this help? I use when I am doing something else and it tells when it is
asking for input.

Subject: Beep when the screen changes


Hi,

Has anyone discovered a program to run on a PC during an 
upgrade/PTF/long AS/400 program run that would beep (and send a 
message to a pager) (or at least be able to run a program) when the screen 
changes for any reason.  I've found (for lots of years) it's a waste of 
time to sit and stair at a screen waiting for the enter key to be hit during

an installation of OS/400.  It would of course be nice for IBM to 
incorporate this function into the upgrade process but I guess they must 
like to sit for hours and watch the screen.  I would really like to find a 
simple PC program that could play a wave file and call a program so I 
could have it send a message to a pager if I wasn't right in front of the 
PC.  I know sending a numeric message to a pager can be done in a simple 
BAT file.

TIA,

Gary Kuznitz
