| | Has anyone used the Beep or Alert console character `a I recently started exploring how to use jobs so that they can automate tasks. One of the things I want to be able to do is to have have the job signal me when its completed. While there no specific documenation on how to do this for those interested this is how in an elevated shell $job = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer -AsJob -Credential $cred {sleep 5} ## simulate a long running job Register-ObjectEvent $job -EventName "StateChanged" -SourceIdentifier JobState -Action {write-host `a} ## Bell should sound when event is fired The key is to subscribe to the event "StateChanged" which is part of the Job Class Trouble is I here no beep. Looking further I can't even get this to beep PS> echo `a I do hear Windows "Default Beep", Internet Radio, etc Does or has this work for anyone? Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? bob |

The "Default Beep" and internet radio use your PC speakers. Take a look at your motherboard and see if there is anything connected to the PC speaker header. I've come across motherboards that have a built in (as in soldered to the PCB) speaker and you can disable/enable it in BIOS. HTH Matt |

| | Re: Has anyone used the Beep or Alert console character `a I suspect you're correct I did "update" my machine with an new motherboard. Perhaps I just didn't connect it up or like you said the speaker's disabled. Thanks for confirming it works. I thought this was just to basic not to work.
