title: OpenSuse - Command for Beep Sound (System Bell)
body: <p>I have a source code that runs perfectly fine on Ubuntu, it does some copumtations, and at some points it beeps like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>system("beep -f 400 -l 500");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On Ubuntu I had to do </p>
  
  <pre><code>apt-get install beep
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I migrated to OpenSuse (not my choice) and now I get this message "sh: beep: command not found", as the command and package are obviously different.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know hot to trigger the system beep sound and define the duration and frequency? I have been able to find only one way to change the parameters</p>
  
  <pre><code>setterm -bfreq 500 -blength 500
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>, but no way to actually trigger the system bell (beep). The following things don't work</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo ^G
  echo -e "\a"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>PS - the system Bell is enabled at 
  Configure Desktop -> Application and System Notifications -> System Bell
  and you can actually play with this</p>
