As a lot of use run Synchronet from a remote linux server, the playtone doesn't
really work for us or I'm doing it wrong? I haven't found much on changing the sysop paging around. Is there a way to change how many times or duration it tries?

The only thing I really know is to play a tone from my local machine remotely from the server to let me know, with something like 'ssh user@host "mpg123 tone.mp3"' but no clue how I would go about implementing this.

I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the page sysop is a hard coded function bbs.page_sysop(); and seems to only be abled to toggle on/off or long/short page. the command shells (menus) make use of external .js scripts, for instance, chat_sec.js which has a
case 'C':
if(!bbs.page_sysop())
bbs.page_guru();
break;

I suppose it would be possible to write a .js that does a exec('ssh user@host "mpg123 tone.mp3"'); ie:
case 'C':
system.exec('ssh user@host "mpg123 tone.mp3"');
break;
or if on a un*x system use system.popen('ssh user@host "mpg123 tone.mp3"');

Hope this helps a little

PS I am also curious of a better way to implement this.

I looked at a few of the files briefly, not sure it's something I can tackle at this point. May give it a go, and I'll either figure it out in a week or so or give up. lol

Hope this helps a little

We'll see.

Do you currently have a way to hear sysop pages? I'm also wondering if samba/sshfs could be used to mount ro and use the monitor tools?

No, I have SysOp paging disabled. I am not sure about samba, DM should be able
to answer that better than I.

Sure, it's all JavaScript (exec/playtone.js).

The only thing I really know is to play a tone from my local machine remotely from the server to let me know, with something like 'ssh user@host "mpg123 tone.mp3"' but no clue how I would go about implementing this.

Setup a custom chat pager in SCFG->Chat Features. You should be able to invoke any command-line you wish when the user pages you for chat.

As there is sound.js and playtone.js, perhaps I'm missing something but how does bbs.page.sysop in chat_sec.js know which one to fire?

Based on what is configured in SCFG->Chat Features->External Chat Pagers.

So If ?playtone.js is listed and I add another custom one, it will fire off both of them?

No, it will use the first pager which has met access requirements.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I built a sysop pager for Windows. It

I have a pager designed for that situation inherently. There is a mod that installs on your BBS's server, and one that runs on your local computer where you want it to notify. It's still in testing but you can get it from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/syncpager/

If you have questions I'm here to help :)
