It has also been fixed on Gentoo anyway. I have to imagine most distros will be patching this.
Interesting... I never knew there was an official beep command. I wrote one myself 30 years ago. It's a shell script that simply echoes a Ctrl-G character. I later added a feature to echo a text string as well as beeping. Feel free to use it. See: - http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix/beep Note: If you view it in a browser, the Ctrl-G chars are not displayed, but if you then save it to disk and open it with a text editor, you'll see them.
