Truenas Core - beep when correctly loaded

[dzikk]

Hi
I have to switch my TrueNas server during night but after that sometimes my mobo has problem with boot up.
So in this case I would like to ask : how or if its even possible to make control beeps when Truenas is ready?

Add a post-boot task to do whatever it is you would like it to do (beep, flash disco lights, etc).

Or play a weird-ass jingle, because FreeBSD firewall distros are into that.

In any case, beep(1) is your friend.

The relevant section of the docs would be:

Init/Shutdown Scripts

Explains the fields on the Init/Shutdown Script screen on TrueNAS CORE.

www.truenas.com

I'm not sure if the default "beep" program exists in both TrueNAS CORE and SCALE, but printf "\007" as a bash command line or script should work if it doesn't.

Thanks for reply
I wanted to call it 3 times, and few weeks ago I managed it but I had to reinstall Truenas and now I cannot call it.
This one does not work. What is wrong with it. Previously looked similar but I dont remember what command I used for wait

printf "\007" > /dev/ttyv0 wait 1 printf "\007" > /dev/ttyv0 wait 1 printf "\007" > /dev/ttyv0

To pause for a second in a shell command, use sleep 1.

note you have to

printf "\007" > /dev/ttyv0 wait 1 printf "\007" > /dev/ttyv0 wait 1 printf "\007" > /dev/ttyv0

At least put ";" between commands.

did not verify, seems to need root rights

Code:

printf "\007" > /dev/ttyv0;  sleep 1; printf "\007" > /dev/ttyv0; sleep 1; printf "\007" > /dev/ttyv0
