Scylla and Charybdis kdmktone - Tools

The tools are developed under Linux with ESR's paradigm release early, release often in mind.
So you can consider this beta software, or alpha, or pre-alpha, or even worse ;)

Have a look in the download directory for all downloads.
As always here, all you get is the source. No binaries here.

kdmktone 0.0.0-20061021-043020

Make the console beep (look into latest version, download latest version 0.0.0-20061021-043020)

This is a helper to play some tunes on the console.

It's commandline is a list of

hz:duration:wait

where hz is the frequency, 0 for 'sound off'
duration is in milliseconds, 100 by default
wait is the wait time, duration by default

You can leave away unused parts, so here is a small Dschingle

for a in 1 2 3; do ./kdmktone 1000 1500 2000 0; done

Please note that some beepers out there don't like some frequencies, such that you cannot hear them. That's not the fault of this tool.
