Hi there,
I use to use my computer as one of many alarm clock. And I use beep for that.
I feel that this program lacks of a loop option that loops the whole beep sequence.
Well, not anymore.

For exemple, this will launch the old Appolo spacecraft alarm system until beep recieves a SIGINT:
$ beep -f750 -l400 -n -f2000 -l400 -i

Thanks. The patch contains a bug, the beep doesn't stop when SIGTERM is sent. You've just remind me to work on this ! I will correct this in a few days.

Niclas, that part is a different issue, and I patched it in Debian already with this patch:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/beep/1.3-3/catch-sig-term

I just haven't sent any pull request for that yet so that Jonath can include it. Sorry to have forgotten about it. :)

Got it ! I remember seeing your patch in the Debian sources, and didn't notive that this patch wasn't in this version so I thought I've messes up something.
It is now corrected. Thanks

Doh, I didn't remember that I have push access myself, so I just did that right ahead now. Sorry for duplication of work. :)
