Re: How to make a simple beep?

Maybe here is not right place to ask such question. 

Basically, you will need to open /dev/console, call ioctl to the device with KIOCSOUND request (see 
<linux/kd.h>) and a integer that describes the freq. Use delay (usleep, nanosleep, etc.), then use 0 as freq 
to stop the beep.

Hey All,

I'm running under Ubuntu 8.10 and want to make a simple beep -- like the
Windows Beep function which takes a frequency (in Hz) and a duration (in
milliseconds).  Does anyone have a place to point me?

TIA

-Garth
