Hello, > I have a program I want to port from Windows that beeps > intermittently at various frequencies, and it appears that there's no direct > equivalent of the Windows functions for making noise. Suggestions? There most certainly is! Try out ^G (control+G) Now I remember doing something like this to "warn" myself when the local administrator used to log on ;) CC me and I'll try to dig up some of my beeper scripts for you. > It will > only be run on the console, so it doesn't have to work for remote terminals > or anything. Ah... but that's the beauty of it. You can log onto N+ machines and then have them all beep at random intervals ;) Or... you can wait for just the right moment, when the person is deep in concentration to beep them ;) *I of course no longer do this...(fingers x-ed behind back) hehe ;) -- Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone who may reply/post useful comments & suggestions..., thank you! +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Welat xwe ava nake, dest bidin hevdu, pist nedin tu dijminî | | Riya azadiyê ne hêsan e, hêviya xwe bernedin, dema me | | nêzîk e. | | | | Hevaltî bi kesên du rû nekin, hevaltî bi hevdu ra bikin | | Ne ji hevaltiya wan kesên pêxwas û rû dirêj, ne bi wan | | kesên xwînperest, ne jî ji yên din. | | | | -$êrêciya Kurdistanî | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ translation provided on request: sereciya@kurdistan.ath.cx
