Re: Default Beep



> difference between my puter and everyone elses at work!).

In the interests of helping /even/ those who like to use vi in text-
only modes ;), a look at drivers/char/console.c and an strace of
setterm -blank 20 shows the following:

Set the pitch of the beep:

	E[10;1000]

where 'E' is an escape, the brackets are regular square brackets, the
'10' is the command to set the beep, and '1000' is the hz of the beep
tone.

(E.g.:

	% perl -e 'print "\033[10;1000]";'
	% (now console has a different beep)
)

If you wish to change the duration of the beep, the command is 11
instead of 10, and its argument is the duration in milliseconds.

Happy beeping,
