been there.... done that.... it's still potentially very useful to be
able to get an audio or other kind of notification from the machine when
it has finally reached a quiescent state.  Being able to notify a human
is only one part of this feature -- being able to extend this capability
so that it (also) toggles DTR on a serial port suddenly makes the whole
concept even more interesting.
