How to add startup sound to linux

I use this implementation on my RuneAudio player to play a sound when the raspberry pi is powered on.

1. Place your audio file in /var/local/

   cp startupsound.mp3 /var/local/

2. Create /usr/bin/startupsound.sh with these contents:

wdullaer

# Ask for the user password
# Script only works if sudo caches the password for a few minutes
sudo true

# Install kernel extra's to enable docker aufs support
# sudo apt-get -y install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)

# Add Docker PPA and install latest version
# sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 36A1D7869245C8950F966E92D8576A8BA88D21E9
# sudo sh -c "echo deb https://get.docker.io/ubuntu docker main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list"

Getting a Motorola SBG6580 into “Bridge” mode on TimeWarner Wideband

1. Unplug coax cable from Motorola
2. Hold down the white reset button on the back panel with a pen for 30s.  This resets all settings to factory defaults. The modem will be auto-reconfigured once you plug in the coax cable.
3. When modem is back on plug in a computer with an Ethernet cable into the modem.
4. Connect to http://192.168.0.1 and login with “admin” / “motorola”
5. Now you will make some changes:
 

• Wireless -> Primary Network -> Disabled

var mongoObjectId = function () {
    var timestamp = (new Date().getTime() / 1000 | 0).toString(16);
    return timestamp + 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[x]/g, function() {
        return (Math.random() * 16 | 0).toString(16);
    }).toLowerCase();
};
