[LinuxUsers] Knock-based commands for your Linux laptop

[Manny]

True... although I kinda like this project better...

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Script_for_theft_alarm_using_HDAPS

I tried this on my laptop and I got the keyboard light to flash
but never had any luck with the sound.

Would be especially cool to tie it with the bluetooth, so that it
would arm itself whenever you walked away from your computer.  I can't
seem to get Ubuntu's bluetooth to recognize my phone though.

Anyone else try this? (or is it ???)
