This may seem like a silly question. On your average machine these days there is generally a small speaker in there somewhere. This may not be true for telco gear or embedded gear or blades but certainly your average PC type gear. On a machine I have here I see this : # ls -lap /dev/audio /dev/audio: No such file or directory Now I know that when I issue a shutdown command I generally get a beep out of the box. At some point. Is there a snippit of code in there somewhere ( 30 million lines of it ) that creates this "beep" ?
/usr/bin/printf '\a' should do it. If you want the deep and dirty C code, this is how the X server does it when using the keyboard bell (so called since it used to be in the keyboard, but isn't anymore with most USB keyboards): http://cvsweb.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/xorg/hw/xfree86/os-support/solaris/sun_kbd.c?rev=1.7&view=markup (See sunKbdSoundBell function - short summary is ioctl on /dev/kbd of type KIOCCMD with arguments of KBD_CMD_BELL to turn on and KBD_CMD_NOBELL to turn off when done.) -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
