Well, sorry, I didn't explain why I cannot use printf... This is the
reason:
I cannot use printf because my prg is started by cron, and cron send a
mail to root for every char putted on the standard output, so my BEEP
isn't produced in real time: I can hear it only when I read root's
mails.

I hoped, to avoid this behaviour, for a system call to produce a BEEP.

P.S. I haven't any sound card. I have to use the internal speeker.

Is there a work around?

Thanks a lot
