A long time ago, I installed a small alerting package on Solaris, which
played an audible warning when disks were 90% full.
A poor radiographer nearly jumped out of her skin first time it went off.

IIRC  used a text-to-speech converter available over the web to
create the .au file to play. AGain IIRC  http://wwwtios.cs.utwente.nl/say/

I guess these days you would use something like Festival or something to
make a nice
job of it.
