I have a bunch of long running scripts on a remote system. quite long running scripts. I'd love to inform the user that all jobs are done with a "beep". In my naive way, I installed the "beep" package, and set PuTTY to play a custom sound, and told the script to "beep -e /dev/pts/0", but, while the sound plays properly, "beep" issues a "ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device". What's wrong there?
Yes, I could happily ignore this by redirecting the response to /dev/null, but...?
Cheers,
Carsten
