We use the sounds from the HAL 9000,  RED - "I just picked up a fault"
YELLOW - "One moment please."   GREEN - "I feel much better now, I
really do"   PURPLE - "Im sorry for the delay"

Again, I wrapped a perl script around the allevents log that way we
could get the alerts to sound immediately when Big Brother (now Hobbit)
picked up the problem and didnt have to wait for the browser to refresh.
Also with this script watching the allevent log it would display each
event line in the appropriate color, again this was so the helpdesk
folks could see the alert as it happened and not have to wait for the
browser or bbdisplay to update.  All they had to do is listen and look
and the Command wall for the alerts.
