I want my Wheezy desktop (windowing with xfce) to issue a beep after a adjustable amount of time. I expected that I could do this
with a tiny bash script using sleep and echo, but I cannot get echo to make the computer issue a beep as it should according to the man page. What
special knowledge is needed? Why don't I get a beep with:
echo -e \a

Are you sure the PC speaker isn't muted? I always turn mine off. I think it's in the alsa settings nut it's been a long time so can't remember the details. Wouldn't huirt to check.
