Description
The test command also does a quick test on the system speaker. A beep is emit-
ted as the command starts to run.
The tests are run sequentially, and the status of each subsystem test is dis-
played to the console terminal as the tests progress. If a particular device is not
available to test, a message is displayed. The test script does no destructive
testing; that is, it does not write to disk drives.
Syntax
test [argument]
Use the -lb (loopback) argument for console loopback tests.
