Re: Script


Print the ASCII "bell" charater to standard out.  This will
work even over a telnet session as the sound will be generated
by the local terminal.

Many newer terminal emulators allow you to control the volume
of the emulated bell or turn it off.  So look in whatever you
use.

From the command line you can type "printf '\a'"
or possibly (depending on which shell you use) "echo \a".

From a program simply write the bell character to standard out.
