so you mean that since the bell character is in the "done" message, beep
is produced again. right? may be that's why beep is produced whenever
i would check the status of this job...

# sleep 300 && echo =07 & # no beep
# jobs # beep
# fg # beep
# bg # beep


--=20
 so, do you like word games or scrabble?
