> difference between my puter and everyone elses at work!). In the interests of helping /even/ those who like to use vi in text- only modes ;), a look at drivers/char/console.c and an strace of setterm -blank 20 shows the following:
Set the pitch of the beep: E[10;1000] where 'E' is an escape, the brackets are regular square brackets, the '10' is the command to set the beep, and '1000' is the hz of the beep tone. (E.g.: % perl -e 'print "\033[10;1000]";' % (now console has a different beep) ) If you wish to change the duration of the beep, the command is 11 instead of 10, and its argument is the duration in milliseconds.
