I run scripts in my crontab but i'm not able to generate a beep in
console mode.
I tried echo -e '\a' but no success while I can use sound.
Is there a pbm with my PC Speaker ?

try adding  > /dev/console to your line, does your echo command produce
a sound when typing it directly at a "keyboard TTY ?"
yes.
from crontab, it works better with > /dev/console :-)
I had noticed it.
I had same troubles as well, using 2.4.25 kernel (but newer checked out
grep -i spkr /boot/config-$(uname -r) CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR=y ).
done thanks to wayne & thomes.
Try looking for a script called console_beep-0.1 ... found it somewhere.
already done in perl (if you're interested I can email it)
