This tool can be used to monitor a set of Hudson builds and play an alarm once a build fails or goes unstable.

Open the App.config file and edit the values of the following entries.

• alarmFile - Provide the full path for the sound file that should be played once there is a build failure.
• monitoringFrequency - How frequently should the monitoring be done (in seconds)

Then add the build jobs to the buildJobs section. Ex:

<add key="NETBEANS_BUILDER" value="http://deadlock.netbeans.org/job/trunk/"/>

Add a new key-value pair for each build job that needs to be monitored.

Please note that the value that is given for key should be unique.
