           Summary: spawn a task to "beep the speaker" periodically
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: Devel
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Cast
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: sorcerer AT flamesnyper.com


Cast should spawn a task to beep the speaker periodically for unattended 
sorcery
updates, etc. After each spell is successfully cast (i.e. "cast" ends) kill 
the
task.

Reason: Some "casts" are waiting indefinitely for input -- during unattended
updates we (the admin) may not check for a while if the cast is done. In a
perfect world a cast would never block and wait for input. Since this is
happening, we should spawn a task that sends a beep to the speaker 
periodically. 

I would like to see this task start with a couple of "beep,beep" noises every
minute or so while the cast is running, increasing in frequency (not audio
frequency, time frequency) until the "beep,beep" is happening every 5 seconds 
or
so, until the cast finishes. Of course, the next cast would then start the
process over. We probably need to check if this task is already spawned -- in
the case we have multiple casts running, i.e. on a multi-processor system.

Of course, this should be configurable, in the sorcery menu somewhere. :-)
