Reading the arch wiki for pc speakers (there's a section on "beep" specifically too) made it sound just obnoxious enough not to try though (pcspkr kernel module, udev, limitations)</div>

<div class="PlainText"><br>
"beep" is supposed to make the PC speaker beep... but I can't make<br>
it work on either of the boxes I tested it on. When run as root, it<br>
doesn't give any error, and strace shows it doing iotcl() calls on<br>
/dev/tty0.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to see if this works *at all* for *anyone*. The code is<br>
25 or more years old, so it may just be that it's not compatible with<br>
modern kernels...<br>
<br>
Any volunteers want to try it?<br>
