beep remote tmux when job is done

Question

im a linux fan.

A few days ago i found tmux very useful.

Now im using it all day. I run tmux on a remote shell and working there. On my local pc only one terminal working. And i found interesting thing: my mutt program is beeping when new mail arrives. And tmux is transferring this beep to my local PC, is there a way to run similar beep by any shell command ? I want to use it for some command finishing sign.

Answer 1

I wrote a little script called beep.sh that I use for things like that:

#!/bin/bash
echo $'\a' > `/usr/bin/tty`
