Have a look for the command beep, it allows you to make all sorts of beeps
using the command line.
If thats not an option it may be possible to echo ^G to /dev/console which
I have found makes a beep everytime, no matter how it is running. One
thing I have found however with sending ^G's is that there needs to be a
delay if you want more than 1 beep otherwise it just buffers the beep into
1.. if your after more then give the beep command a try.
Cheereo,
