Hi:

I have written a command which I have chosen to call "locktones". It uses the
PC speaker to indicate the state of the 3 keyboard locks (caps, num, scroll).
The tone associated with a lock is on if that lock is on, and is off if that
lock is off.  Rather than a chord, it cycles through the 3 tones individually.

If you would like to give it a try, you can fetch it from
"ftp.mielke.ml.org:/pub/locktones". Please let me know what I can do to improve
it. It has lots of options, but they all have, I hope, reasonable defaults. Its
usage information, i.e. the output from its --help option, is as follows:

Usage: locktones [-option value] ... 

Use the PC speaker to audibly indicate the state of the keyboard locks.

{-b | --background}          execute in the background
{-p | --poll} time           keyboard poll interval
{-d | --duration} time       duration of each tone
{-c | --caps} frequency      frequency of caps lock tone
{-n | --num} frequency       frequency of num lock tone
{-s | --scroll} frequency    frequency of scroll lock tone
{-h | --help}                write usage information to standard output
{-v | --version}             write version information to standard output

A "time" operand is an integer from 1 through 10 (tenths of a second).
A "tone" operand is an integer from 30 through 10000 (Herz).
