announce is a GNU/Linux command line utility I wrote that takes a file at random from a directory and processes it through with a command. By default it selects a file from /usr/local/sounds and processes it with esdplay. I wrote it so that GKrellM could play different sound files when new email has arrived.

It does not come with any of the sound files - I use some of the ones that can be downloaded from here and here.

The default command that is used, and the default directories from which files are selected can be overridden with arguments.

announce is licenced under the The GNU General Public License.
