[SOLVED] beep or beep2 replacement

[victorbrca]

Anyone knows of a utility similar to SmoothWall's beep2 that I can use to play numeric frequencies and wavelenght?

This is the type of file I'd like to play:

#!/usr/local/bin/beep
500 100
0 100
750 100
0 100
1000 100

Thanks,

Vic.

Found a package for OpenSuse here (http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/5939587/com/beep2-1.2a-1.1.i386.rpm.html), and here's a link (http://www.daedalus.co.uk/perl/beep.pl) on how to convert Nokia's RTTL to this file format.

Any ideas?

If anyone ever comes around this here's the fix.

Download the rpm package from here (ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/netmask/Fedora_8/i386/beep2-1.2a-1.1.i386.rpm).

Install alien:

sudo apt-get install alien


Go to the folder were you downloaded the package and convert it to .deb and install it:

sudo alien -k beep2-1.2a-1.1.i386.rpm
sudo dpkg -i beep2_1.2a-1.1_i386.deb

Create a folder under, for example /home/user/etc/sound, then create a file. Open the file and paste the following code:

#! /usr/bin/beep2
# Name: Star Wars Theme 1

Make the file executable:

chmod a+x [filename]


Run the file from a terminal window:

./[filename]
