How to live without a soundcard[edit]
Dont have a (working) soundcard but need a few signals, like a beep when a message arrives in your jabber client , a highlight in your irc client or when email arrives?
In Debian, get apt-get install beep. In other Linux distributions or other OSes, install beep manually.
Then you can make a shell script, for example in bash, create a new text file beep.sh with any text editor like vi or joe.
Beep.sh[edit]
#/bin/bash beep -f 523 -l 300 beep -f 10000 -l 500 beep -f 880 -l 1000 ...
-f is the frequency of the tone in Hertz -l is the duration of the tone in millisecond
check out details on man beep.
Play with the options, you could even compose your own music with this ;)
Even without beep program[edit]
If you dont want to use the beep program, you can even live without that, using:
echo -e "\007" >/dev/tty10
And on Windows (type Ctrl-G for the ^G):
echo "^G"
Use executable script as player command[edit]
When finished you make the beep.sh executable through:
chmod +x beep.sh
and finally you can enter something like
/home/yourname/beep.sh
as the player command in the settings of your Psi jabber client or according application that allows setting a custom player command on incoming events.
