Hi all,

How can I disable the beep when using the bash shell. I have read that
you can put something like “set show-all-if-ambiguous on” in the inputrc
file. I think this is for linux though.


Thanks

Hi Paul,

Try removing the write permissions on /dev/con1.

Thanks for all the suggestions but,

in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local and in my .profile I have a

echo “\033[=1;1B”

which will set the bell to 1HZ with a length of 1ms. Life
is much quieter now :slight_smile:
