RE: [PLUG] System Bell - Beep!
|
Although this is in regards to turning the bell *off*, it talks about setting
the freq and duration:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/Visual-Bell
· ESC-[10;xx] selects the bell frequency in Hertz. The value should
be in the range 21-32766, otherwise the result is undefined. If
the `xx' argument is missing, the default value (750Hz) will apply,
as in `ESC-[10].
· ESC-[11;xx] selects the bell duration, in milli-seconds. If you
specify more than 2 seconds, the default applies (125ms). Once
again, if the `xx' argument is missing (ESC-[11]) the default value
will be used.
To select, for example, a 50Hz pitch for one-second duration, you can
"echo -e "\\33[10;50]\\33[11;1000]"" with bash (where "-e" means
`understand Escape sequences'. If you use tcsh the same command spells
"echo "\\033[10;50]\\033[11;1000]"".
