* saving rate @ Igor Gueths ` Janina Sajka ` Toby Fisher 0 siblings, 2 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Igor Gueths @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi all. I don't remember if this was talked about before, but in any case I don't remember what the thread (s) were called. Does anyone know how I could save any settings that I made to any parameter in /proc/speakup? I changed the default rate from 300 to 350 fine. However, when I have to reboot let's say for a kernel recompile like the last time I did it, the rate was back at 300. Is there any way to save the current settings?

* Re: saving rate saving rate Igor Gueths @ ` Janina Sajka ` Igor Gueths ` Toby Fisher 1 sibling, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Your correct. The answer is in the speakup archive. Basically, the best solution seems to be to save the settings to a directory under /etc. My directory is called speakup and I have directories below that for each synth I use. These contain the settings I may wish to change on the fly. Do a search for /etc/speakup in the archive to find the mail on this. On Mon, 22 Apr 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi all.

* Re: saving rate ` Janina Sajka @ ` Igor Gueths ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Igor Gueths @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi Janina. But does saving the settings you have changed in /etc/ actually make it so your rate is set to whatever you set it to instead of the default of 300?

* Re: saving rate ` Igor Gueths @ ` Janina Sajka ` Igor Gueths 0 siblings, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup No, not saving. You then have to copy those values into /proc/speakup. Let me go get my alias command ... alias s="cp /etc/speakup/`cat /proc/speakup/synth`/* /proc/speakup" s The first of these two defines an alias which I call s. The second calls the alias. This is from my .bash_profile. Thereafter, if my settings go kerflooee, I just issue another s <ENTER> and all is back as it should be. On Mon, 22 Apr 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi Janina.

* Re: saving rate ` Janina Sajka @ ` Igor Gueths ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Igor Gueths @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi Janina. I know this might be stupid, but I would think you leave the quotes in in this case? Normally I wouldn't be asking this, but judging from the fact that its a script we're talking about, do the quotes serve as identifiers to the command itself, and the ` just means a next-command type function? Based on your alias command, I have derived the following. Note: Going to leave in quotes for now, bug please correct if wrong. alias s="echo 350 >/proc/speakup/rate" In Theory, I would think that the above command aliased to s would reset the rate back to 350. The reason I left out copying the values to /etc is because I don't have more than one synth (it could be different in your case), so I figured I'd just leave it in /proc/speakup.

* Re: saving rate ` Igor Gueths @ ` Janina Sajka ` Igor Gueths 0 siblings, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Yes, this will work very well, Igor. I started with this kind of alias too. But I soon discovered that I might want to reset my punctuation level, and my default voice. And, as you suggest, I do have several synths that I might happen to be using. The quotes are important, I think. I have never tried without them, in any case. I think of them as identifying a single entity in the alias--all of the params to the right of the equals sign. On Mon, 22 Apr 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi Janina.

* Re: saving rate ` Janina Sajka @ ` Igor Gueths 0 siblings, 0 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Igor Gueths @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi Janina. What I ended up doing was writing a start-up script which will run the alias command at boot time, because when I had to reboot to load my new rebuilt kernel, I saw that the alias s had been removed for some reason. Will have to dig around to find out why. ----- Original Message ----- From: Janina Sajka <janina@afb.net> To: <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 8:59 PM Subject: Re: saving rate > Yes, this will work very well, Igor. > > I started with this kind of alias too.
