Someone already answered your question as it applies to the PC's case
speaker so I'll show you how I do beeping with the external speaker(s).
The audio/aumix port must be installed and you'll have to locate
some other sound files (eg with "locate \.au").

#!/bin/ksh
## Usage: beep [-cowbell] [_count_]
if [ "$1" = -cowbell ]; then
shift
SOUND=/xxx/share/sounds/old-emacs/cowbell.au
else
SOUND=/xxx/share/sounds/old-emacs/wallsoff.au
fi
if [ "$1" = "" ];then
beeps=1
else
beeps=$1
fi
NEWVOL=100
while [ 1 = 1 ]; do
OLDVOL=$(aumix -vq|cut -d ' ' -f 3)
aumix -v "$NEWVOL"
cat "$SOUND" >/dev/audio
aumix -v "$OLDVOL"
beeps=$((beeps-1))
if [ $beeps = 0 ]; then
break
fi
#sleep 1  ## for slower beeping
done

Perhaps try
man beep
echo 'main() { initscr();beep(); }' > a.c && gcc -lncurses a.c && ./a.out; 
reset
or
man -k speaker
and subsequently
man speaker
man spkrtest

Beep question...

2002-11-12 Thread Chris P 

I have a simple question. I want to make my PC speaker beep.  I for the
life of my cannot find a simple command to do this...  I dont want an
X-app, I dont want change the tone, or anything special.. Just a beep!

If anyone knows, I'd appreciate the info!  Thanks!
