As you guessed, this is quite simple. And I enjoy crack change. So I could do it in C and give you rights to the source, for 10 bucks via PayPal.
For an extra 10, I could make it read from a configuration file to determine:
- Location of target file
- Number of seconds between file checks
- How many beeps it makes
- Which lines of text it should beep for
But if you don't want to spend an extra 10, you could still change those things by modifying and recompiling the original program.
I'll need a sample file to test it, if you decide to throw the money at me.
dr.sane@gmail.com is my Paypal.
