Set audible alarm when an IP address comes online

until ping -c1 ADDRESS;do true;done;zenity --warning --text "ADDRESS is back"

I'd rather this one on Gnome, as I'm used to be listening some music while working. I've even created a bash function which receives ADDRESS as parameter.

Set audible alarm when an IP address comes online

Waiting for your server to finish rebooting? Issue the command above and you will hear a beep when it comes online. The -i 60 flag tells ping to wait for 60 seconds between ping, putting less strain on your system. Vary it to your need. The -a flag tells ping to include an audible bell in the output when a package is received (that is, when your server comes online).
This is sample output - yours may be different.
