Greetings!

I booted up with the grml 1.0 Cd, using the "grml swspeak" command.  After that and running the swspeak command again, I tried

renice 3 `ps -e |grep speechd-up |head -1 |cut -d' ' -f1`

as you suggested.  I got a short error/usage message.  I then retried the command, after replacing each ` with ".  I got the message that the old priority of 0 was changed to 3.  I also tried -12.  There was no change in the way the software speech read.  Could I have missed something here?

Thanks!

Al
