Ok, how's this look? |

# Beep the specified number of times (defaults to five). If our output |
| 12 |
# is not a terminal, or if seq (part of coreutils) is unavailable, don't |
| 13 |
# beep. |
| 14 |
ebeep() { |
| 15 |
local n |
| 16 |
if [ -t 1 ] && [ -x /bin/seq ] ; then |
| 17 |
for n in $(seq 1 ${1:-5}) ; do |
| 18 |
echo -ne "\a" |
| 19 |
sleep 0.1 &>/dev/null ; sleep 0,1 &>/dev/null |
| 20 |
echo -ne "\a" |
| 21 |
sleep 1 |
| 22 |
done |
| 23 |
fi |
| 24 |
} |
| 25 |

I think this might not work on OSX, not sure that they have a seq |
| 27 |
available (although they should...). |
