Can anyone help me find a way to have my system play a sound whenever I get a hit?

I don't know how you'd go about that...since it'd have to be an interaction between the web server and the system...some trigger would have to happed...

That being said...it'd make no sense to do so since you'd probably hear a ton of "dings" every couple seconds with spiders and bots hitting your site...plus a "HIT" is actualy the action of the browser downloading every item from a web page...10 images on a page = 10 hits for 1 visitor.

I'd just find a way to monitor your web logs...

thanks for the reply.

I think what I may do is try and write a perl script that triggers a wav file on my local system whenever it is called.

Off hand, one way you can accomplish this (to the nearest second) is:

1) Download and install Log Monitor (free), from:

http://logmon.bitrix.ru/logmon/eng/default.asp

Use the link "http://logmon.bitrix.ru/logmon/files/LOGMON.ZIP" to download it, as the other download link doesn't seem to work.

2) Set it to monitor C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\log\access.log (or wherever you installed Abyss). Make sure the "Check for sharing violation..." is UNchecked (in Conditions), set the Options to 1 second, and in the Actions select New to "Play Sound."

Even at one-second intervals, Log Monitor seems to use negligible resources.

Another approach to satisfy curiousity: I wrote a program that sits in the system tray, checks that log file periodically (e.g., I have it set to once a minute), and displays the time of the last entry (optionally excluding your own IP) via a float-over tooltip. You can find my program as "end-of-log-checker" on my (powered by Abyss) page:
