Console beeps can be turned off using setterm, like this ; |
| 21 |
</p> |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
<pre># <i>setterm -blength 0</i></pre> |

If you would like to turn off the console beeps on boot |
| 27 |
you need to put this command in |
| 28 |
<path>/etc/conf.d/local.start</path>. However, this only |
| 29 |
disables beeps for the current terminal. To disable |
| 30 |
beeps for other terminals, pipe the command output to the |
| 31 |
target terminal, like this ; |
| 32 |
</p> |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
<pre># <i>setterm -blength 0 >/dev/vc/1</i></pre> |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
<p> |
| 37 |
You need to replace /dev/vc/1 with the terminal |
| 38 |
you would like to disable console beeps for. |
