Funny Linux Beep Prank
Here’s one for Aprils Fools. install the “beep” program on your Linux box and then run this while you are out to lunch. It will play a series of random beeps over random intervals and will drive your co-workers mad!
while true; do sleep $(($RANDOM/1000)) && beep -f 2000 -l $(($RANDOM/100)) ; done
Tried it but no one smashed my laptop :( Guess I have to get one the old fashioned way and ask!
Maybe you don’t have the “beep” program installed or you don’t have speaker. That’s my variant:P :
while true; do sleep $(($RANDOM/1000)) && beep -f $(($RANDOM/10)) -l $(($RANDOM/100)) ; done
Nice, really nice.
I’m no expert, but I would really like to mod so the beeps are a little bit more annoying, like a big pause, and then 10 short high pitch beeps in a row.
