Comment:

 Various notes:

 According to ''man console_codes'', the reset line can be

 {{{
 echo -en '\033[10]\033[11]' > /dev/tty1
 }}}

 Another way to beep is:

 {{{
 printf \\a
 }}}

 see also http://www.johnath.com/beep/

 And it turns out the maximum beep length is 1999 ms.

 Some authors use /dev/console rather than /dev/tty1

 It would be quite simple to convert simple music from the ABC format to
 shell.
