Need to shut off beep
I need to know how to turn off the beep in my unix environment. I tried with the Common Desktop Environment on solaris but it didn't work. I used to know the environment variable to set but I have forgotten it.

xfdesktop
XFDESKTOP(1) General Commands Manual XFDESKTOP(1)
NAME
xfdesktop - The Xfce 4 Desktop Environment's desktop manager
SYNOPSIS
xfdesktop
xfdesktop [options]
DESCRIPTION
xfdesktop manages the desktop itself in the Xfce 4 Desktop Environment. This includes drawing the desktop backdrop and providing a right-
click applications menu and middle-click window list menu, as well as drawing icons on the desktop. Only one instance of xfdesktop can be
running at a time, and should be started by running xfdesktop without any arguments.
OPTIONS
--reload
Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to reload all its settings, including loading a new random backdrop if using a back-
drop list.
--menu Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the applications menu at the current position of the mouse cursor.
--windowlist
Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the window list menu at the current position of the mouse cursor.
ENVIRONMENT
xfdesktop's behavior is affected by the following environment variables.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME
Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to ~/.config
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
Specifies a colon-separated list of system directories in which to search for configuration data. If this environment variable is
not present, it defaults to /etc/xdg
FILES
xfdesktop searches for a menu description file in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu. xfdesktop can also use a user-customized
menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/.
BUGS
Please report any bugs to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Development discussion should be conducted on the xfce4-dev@xfce.org mailing list.
Usage-related questions should be directed to the xfce@xfce.org mailing list.
