To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Thursday, January 30, 2014, 11:40 PM I want my Wheezy desktop (windowing with xfce) to issue a beep after a adjustable amount of time. I expected that I could do this with a tiny bash script using sleep and echo, but I cannot get echo to make the computer issue a beep as it should according to the man page. What special knowledge is needed? Why don't I get a beep with: echo -e \a --------------------------------------------
Are you sure the PC speaker isn't muted? I always turn mine off. I think it's in the alsa settings nut it's been a long time so can't remember the details. Wouldn't huirt to check. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
