Re: beep unconditionally
Do you mean something like this: --- thing.sh --- sleep 3 echo -e \\a --- thing.sh --- # nohup ./thing.sh No I mean something like $ echo ./thing.sh|at 2:12 pm and having it ring a bell instead of sending a flashing/beeping letter bomb, and all with standard tools of course. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: beep unconditionally
How kind of you all to offer your beep and ditty solutions, I will have to try them next time I break out the 8 woody CDs. However your suggestions of print(1) and echo(1) do not fill the bill as I want a way to get the little speaker to beep due to #2: 1. with standard tools 2. from a batch script not connected to any terminal 3. don't have to be root, however yes, a running X as a regular user Dan I used to do the below, but now: Dan $ echo -e \\a /dev/console Dan bash: /dev/console: Permission denied -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

beep unconditionally
How does one get a beep unconditionally from that little speaker be it from a batch job or whatever. Assume I can give a valid $XAUTHORITY. I used to do the below, but now: $ echo -e \\a /dev/console bash: /dev/console: Permission denied Now only root can make it beep. Without resorting to root powers, what can one do? -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
