Re: beep sound

Hey IT,

the only way I could find, is to do a for loop, to fire the beep event X
numbers of times, to create
a longer beep.

for ($i=0; $i -lt 10;$i++) {[console]::Beep()}

You don't really create one long beep, rather a series of beeps. But I checked
the MSDN documentation,
and nowhere is it listed that there's a "time" parameter for the beep function.
