====Entry 1: February 17, 2012====


Today I learned that the terminal screen can be split into multiple instances within one terminal. How crazy is that?! This will probably change how I will work within terminal for the rest of the class. I am currently using three instances at once for terminal, various manual pages, and the largest for my working terminal.

====Entry 2: February 29th, 2012====
Today I researched "beep" and found that the internal speaker of your computer can be manipulated by using some of the suffixes of beep. I will now spend time trying to write "funky town" in a script just to play for the nice people down at the Lair.

====Entry 3: March 1st, 2012====
Today I learned that there is a wait in bash. By issuing a sleep, I am able to wait before issuing several commands. This is helpful for creating multiple command scripts that will not overlap each other and will allow it to run exactly how I see it running. It also helps for issuing a command several times throughout the day, such as beep >;]
====Entry 4: Almost March 2nd 2012====
The beep command is strange indeed. The man page gives a detailed list of different frequencies that should match up with different tones similar to a piano. Unfortunately, They do not sound the same as the notes.

====Connect to Lab46 from Lab46====

===Question===
Are you able to connect to Lab46 through ssh, from Lab46?

===Hypothesis===
I believe that you are able to connect to your ssh terminal (or another users) from an already existing terminal such as lab46.

===Experiment===
My experiment will be logging onto lab46 and attempting to connect to lab46 via ssh.

===Data===
I begin by connecting to lab46.

From here I attempt to connect to lab46 (ssh lab46.corning-cc.edu -l thakes3)
<cli>
thakes3@lab46.corning-cc.edu's password: 
</cli>

And viola! A beautiful inception-like lab46 terminal!

===Analysis===
Based on the data collected:

  * My hypothesis was correct.
  * There are many other ways that this can be applied, as in connecting to a machine on the network.
  * This also shows that you can have multiple people on the same account running at the same time

===Conclusions===
My conclusion is that the experiment worked exactly as I thought, and this brings up many topics to be learned regarding ssh.

====Remote Beeping====

===Question===
Can you remotely use a pc speaker via an ssh connection?

===Hypothesis===
I believe that by connecting to my pc (foxtrot) from lab46, I will be able to use the beep command and make the internal pc speaker on foxtrot beep.

===Experiment===
I will attempt to connect to foxtrot from lab46, and then use the beep command to see if the pc speaker beeps.
===Data===
I start by connecting to lab46.

<cli>
lab46:~$
</cli>

From here I will connect to foxtrot. I have a script written so that I would not have to type the ip in repetively. 

<cli>
lab46:~$ ./foxtrot
thakes3@foxtrot:~$
</cli>

And then from here, I will now use beep to see if the pc speaker beeps.

<cli>
thakes3@foxtrot:~$ beep
thakes3@foxtrot:~$ 
</cli>

The pc speaker beeped, thus success.

===Analysis===

I was able to connect successfully and remotely beep the machine.

    *This shows me that several functions of the computer can be accessed remotely and used.
    *This also shows that by connecting to foxtrot via ssh, you are completely engulfed in the computer, and thus all functions are of that computer and do not relate to the computer you are currently on.

====Melodies with Beep====

===Question===
By manipulating the beep command, are you able to play melodies?

===Resources===
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1157670

===Hypothesis===
I believe that by using the varias manipulations of beep, you are able to play songs from the pc speaker

===Experiment===
I will attempt to use a script I found on ubuntu forums on foxtrot to try and play a melody.

===Data===
I start by connecting to lab46 and then connecting to foxtrot.

<cli>
thakes3@foxtrot:~$
</cli>

From here I copy and paste the several lines of code into a new file i named louder.sh by using the text editor nano. Now I must use the chmod command to make it able to run

<cli>
thakes3@foxtrot:~$ chmod 744 louder.sh
thakes3@foxtrot:~$
</cli>

And now lastly, I must execute the program.

<cli>
thakes3@foxtrot:~$ ./louder.sh
thakes3@foxtrot:~$
</cli>

The pc speaker was able to play a fine tuned melody perfectly.


===Analysis===
I was correct that the pc speaker can play a melody. 

A short coming I came across: I had to modprobe pcspkr. This allows me to use the beep command. Without it I could not. 
Also, you must install the beep command. It does not come automatically as a command.
