Audible alarm from Unix shell script
I am running a Putty session on windows XP and I would like my shell script to give me an audible alarm.
ex
run program that produces text line like job_name job_start Job_status etc.
grep ' FA ' from line and beep.
Is this possible?

What unix OS is it? (uname -a)
What happens at the unix prompt if you just type ctrl-G and hit return?

Are you typing "ctrl-G" or are you using the Ctrl key and the G key simultaneously? The latter is what you want -- just hitting the Ctrl and G keys simultaneously.
As a control character, ctrl-G (or ^G) should make a noise, but not show up as an entered command.

Not sure about AIX, but on linux if you pipe random data to the audio device it gives quite an alarm.
echo "asldfjal;sdfja;lsdfjl;ask
echo "asldfjal;sdfja;lsdfjl;ask
nope, giving up. Not that important. BTW hitting cntl G places ^G on the line and when entered throws
"sh ^G not found"
"sh ^G not found"

You can adjust your PuTTY settings (category Terminal -> Bell) to change how the beep works for you. I found the "default system alert sound" to be rather quiet; "Beep using the PC speaker" was a little more noticeable, but you could also set a custom sound.
To have your script do "echo ^G", you may need to type "echo <ctrl>-V<ctrl>-G".
