Re: [PLUG] System Bell - Beep!

[epike <epike@isinet.com>]

Try this, it works for me (this is 5 bells).

When your'e able to make the speaker ring different
tunes pls let me know, I could use it (my server's
also headless)


/bin/echo -e -n "\a" > /dev/console; sleep 1;
    /bin/echo -e -n "\a" > /dev/console; sleep 1;
    /bin/echo -e -n "\a" > /dev/console; sleep 1;
    /bin/echo -e -n "\a" > /dev/console; sleep 1;
    /bin/echo -e -n "\a" > /dev/console; sleep 1;
