Beeps? in this day and age?

[fasterthanlime]

Here's a test executable that, for me, on Windows 10:

• beeps once in mintty (msys2 shell)
• beeps twice in cmd.exe

The third beep is never heard - this is what butler uses as a prefix for tasks.

Attached is beeptest.exe, signed with our certificate. I'm curious how it behaves on Windows 7!

I don't hear any beeps on Windows 7 in cmd.exe or powershell.

Update: for the original reporter:

• beeptest.exe beeps once
• even butler -V is enough to make their computer beep
• it's run from a .bat script

@200sc do you get a beep if you run butler upgrade ?

No, it didn't beep for me

cmd output if it matters:

False alarm, I had some bars in my audio mixer turned to zero-- I do get the single "should beep" beep from the test program.

(also, butler upgrade dropped off a .gz file in my GOBIN but didn't extract the exectuable from it, so it looked like butler was broken, but that's on head, so)

That sounds like what an older butler would've done - I've changed the upgrade mechanism at some point (it uses .zip now, as you can see from the output!).

@200sc so beeptest beeps once, and butler upgrade doesn't beep at all ?

[200sc]

That's correct. I can try other versions of butler if you'd like.
