how to play beep sound inside shell script?
 
Hi All,

I need to make beep sound inside my basic shell script.

ex:
#!/bin/sh

if ping 172.16.XXX.XXX
then
echo " Server is running "
else
#--- make system sound--------

echo " Server idle "
fi

note:
how to check my linux system is working with these system sounds ?

ex :
$] beep

there were no any sound play through speaker
but
system --> preferences--> sound
all testing stages are successful.

Regards,
HK

aplay is your friend
 
An alternative is to use "aplay soundfile.wav".
In a shell script, you can use the command echo -e "\a" or the command mentionned just before.

This script seems to work (run as root)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = on ];then
micro_inetd 55555 $0 &
else
echo -e '\a' >/dev/tty9
fi
More details are found here.
ciao,

Hi
You can use the beep command

ex.

beep -f 300.7 -r 2 -d 100 -l 400

beep only works if your PC has a "speaker". Many modern laptops / small devices don't have one.
