$ @BELL

BELL will ring the terminal bell five times when first executed, then twice
every couple of seconds.  All of this is done without scrolling the screen, so
that it does not destroy the screen contents.

I use BELL to let me know when a long interactive process has finished
executing.  I have a symbol set in LOGIN ($ BELL == "@dev:[dir]bell") so that
all I do is type BELL while the lengthy process is executing, and when it
completes the terminal bell starts beeping.  Type ^C/^Y to exit.
