Paketti: beep (1.4.9-1)

advanced PC-speaker beeper

beep does what you'd expect: it beeps. But unlike printf "\a", beep allows you to control pitch, duration, and repetitions. Its job is to live inside shell/perl scripts and allow more granularity than one has otherwise. It is controlled completely through command line options. It's not supposed to be complex, and it isn't - but it makes system monitoring (or whatever else it gets hacked into) much more informative.
