If the <B>-displayof</B> option is omitted, the display of the application's main window is used by default. The command uses the current bell-related settings for the display, which may be modified with programs such as <B>xset</B>. <P> This command also resets the screen saver for the screen. Some screen savers will ignore this, but others will reset so that the screen becomes visible again. <H3><A NAME="M5">KEYWORDS</A></H3> <A href="../Keywords/B.htm#beep">beep</A>, <A href="../Keywords/B.htm#bell">bell</A>, <A href="../Keywords/R.htm#ring">ring</A> <HR><PRE> <A HREF="../copyright.htm">Copyright</A> © 1994 The Regents of the University of California. <A HREF="../copyright.htm">Copyright</A> © 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. <A HREF="../copyright.htm">Copyright</A> © 1995-1997 Roger E.
