Simple way to play a sound

I have speakers connected to the Mac running the Indigo Server. I would like to play a sound when triggered. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Lot's of ways but one simple solution is an AppleScript.

Code: Select all

Open this Scriplet in your Editor:
do shell script "afplay '/System/Library/Sounds/Hero.aiff'"

Just replace the path and sound file info to what you'd like.

Thanks Carl. That worked. Much appreciated.

I can shorten that script for you.

In AppleScript:

Code: Select all

beep

Of course, that would only play whatever you have selected as the system beep/alert sound. The approach further up allows you to play any sound that's installed on your Mac...
