Beeps?

zeek

Greetings,

Does anyone know what it is in the init scripts that gives the beeps (bell) at shutdown, reboot, startup? I've looked at /etc/init.d/beeps but there's nothing obvious there. 

I want to implement these beeps in Big Brother monitoring. 

Cheers,

    Thanks Alex! 

    For this particular case, since I'm trying to echo off the console (logged in via ssh) I had to redirect to /dev/console


            /bin/echo -n -e "\a" >/dev/console


    There's also a way of changing the pitch and frequency but I've not worked with that yet. 

    I plan to use this as an audible alert for Big Brother. It'd be useless in a NOC, but perhaps very helpful for a home user. 

    Cheers,
