Is there a way to print a message to AXIS?
Another easy way to do this is to use a 'user M code'.
ArcEye that is a neat trick, I will have to try it.

Maybe the guy that wanted the computer to holler at him when done could do something similar.
Yeah, mpg123 Hey_Come_and_Reposition_the_Workpiece.mp3 would do it
Is there a command line audio player that would do that?

/usr/bin/arecord (records)
for ogg there is
/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --file=bark.ogg

mpg123 IS a command line player! Or you could use any of the ones Dewey mentioned.

This looks very interesting. I tried this out, but my message doesn't pop up. The program stops...but no message. My Ubuntu uses Gnome to open the message, could this be the problem? Do I need to somehow tell it to use Gnome instead of "qiv"? I am not sure what "qiv" is.
I am very new at this, so please be patient.
Thanks

This is what I have stored in my folder (/home/ubuntu/emc2/nc_files)
My message is called: stopmessage.png
My M112 files consists of the following:
#!/bin/bash
eog/home/ubuntu/emc2/nc_files/stopmessage.png
exit 0
I have M112 in my Gcode (which does stop the program from running). Do I need any variables after M112?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
