Re: beep unconditionally
How kind of you all to offer your "beep" and "ditty" solutions, I will
have to try them next time I break out the 8 woody CDs.
However your suggestions of print(1) and echo(1) do not fill the bill
as I want a way to get the little speaker to beep due to #2:
1. with standard tools
2. from a batch script not connected to any terminal
3. don't have to be root, however yes, a running X as a regular user

Dan> $ echo -e \\a > /dev/console
Dan> bash: /dev/console: Permission denied
