Subject: echo a beep back

Is there anyway to receive a beep when you receive a new e-mail ?
(in addition to the display it shows at the bottom of the window)

Thanks,

/Shankar

It isn't set - I am still not getting any beep.

I am using Sun Solaris 2.8 and running pine in xterm window -

Anything else I should be doing ?

Thanks,

At Mon, 5 Nov 2001 it looks like Shankar Vemulapalli composed:

Try this from the command line to see if your system beeps at all.

echo -e "\aMy computer went \"beep\"."

make sure that the "visual bell" is not set when you started xterm,

i.e.

  xterm -vb

if this is set, then ur screen blinks and no beeps will be heard.

if it is not set, then it might be set in your .Xdefaults file as

XTerm*visualBell:       True

if so then make it false and reload the .Xdefaults file.
