   No, you have to actually echo to a real terminal. This works, as root:   
      
   echo -ne "\a" > /dev/tty10   
      
   this too, but not always does:   
      
   echo -ne "\a" > /dev/tty1   
      
   (currently no user logged in there)   
      
   As user I get permission denied.   
      
      
   But this doesn't work in XFCE terminal:   
      
   cer@Telcontar:~> echo -ne "\a"   
   cer@Telcontar:~>

   Cheers, Carlos.
