1> Is there a way that I can make the REMOTE machine on an SSH connection beep? To attract the attention of the machines owner?
If they are using X, and you have the correct X permissions, you could put up a message box:
xmessage "Hey ugly! Over here!" -display localhost:0.0
I've got a dual-head display, so for the other screen I use:
xmessage "Hey ugly! Over here!" -display localhost:0.1
I won't go into what it all means here. That's what man pages are for.
You can probably find something that looks less ugly than xmessage. <looks...> like kdialog
