I would like to make popups make a noise if it's possible.

I've got a bit of an issue, and I know it's not how everyone wants their system to run, but I like to leave things running unattended on a site that likes to check if I'm still there, seemingly at random. It's fine if I'm looking at it, but sometimes I'm not. And if I miss it in a fairly narrow time frame, I have to start quite a long process over again.

Is it possible to get my system to make a noise if there is any dialogue popup? I'm using chrome if that helps.

Thanks

Re: I would like to make popups make a noise if it's possible.

a. Low hanging fruit would be to use some sort of chrome extension, search for 'chrome beep on page change' should bring you one. With the usual warning:

Chrome extensions can cause much more harm than help. Whether they use lots of system resources, collect your data, install adware, redirect your searches to spammy sites, or similar, you don't want them on your system.

b. For simple sites, this may work https://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/co … e_changes/

watch -g curl -s example.com && echo Changed
