modprobe pcspkr && sleep 10 # or whatever amount you want ## the only real thing getting done would be sourcing your bashrc source ~/.bashrc ## you might need /home/user instead of ~ if you run as root printf \\a #### the other thing ???????might?????? be an issue is that xset *might* need to be 'refreshed' with xset b on Though you could add xset q |grep bell before the modprobe to see if you need that.... which you probably don't. Also... you might need to use setterm setterm --bleangth 1000 maybe even the --bfreq option... Just some guesses... I have never tried to enable the beep personally, only disable it :D -- Regards
