Logplay is a sound-capable alert system with a modular design. It can monitor system logs, load averages, network connectivity, and is modular to support user-specific monitors. Logplay alerts the user via a sound (using anything Sox's play script understands), an e-mail, or system commands. It should run on almost any *nix system, or any system that has Perl, given that you can run it in the background and you write a module.
