Source: beep Section: sound Priority: optional Maintainer: Gerfried Fuchs Build-Depends: po-debconf, patch, quilt Standards-Version: 3.8.3 Homepage: http://johnath.com/beep/ Package: beep Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0 Description: advanced pc-speaker beeper beep does what you'd expect: it beeps. But unlike printf "\a" beep allows you to control pitch, duration, and repetitions. Its job is to live inside shell/perl scripts and allow more granularity than one has otherwise. It is controlled completely through command line options. It's not supposed to be complex, and it isn't - but it makes system monitoring (or whatever else it gets hacked into) much more informative.
