Sample script

MS DOS

declare -ir MAX_SECONDS=120 declare -ir TIMEOUT=$SECONDS+$MAX_SECONDS while (( $SECONDS < $TIMEOUT )); do afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Submarine.aiff Done

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

declare -ir MAX_SECONDS=120 declare -ir TIMEOUT=$SECONDS+$MAX_SECONDS while (( $SECONDS < $TIMEOUT ));     do   afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Submarine.aiff   Done

• MAX_SECONDS sets the maximum time (in seconds) for the device to ring. This value can be altered based on the requirement.

Notes:

• It is recommended to manually validate the script execution on a system before executing the action in bulk.
• Hexnode will not be responsible for any damage/loss to the system on the behavior of the script.
