Announce it where? By printing it one one of the terminals? By sending
it through the sound card? What did you have in mind?

The flite package includes a little demo app for announcing the time. You feed it in as a variable from the command line, so you could certainly also do that in a script via your crontab.

I used crontab to play a different wav file every hour, and had a
simulated cuckoo clock here. There are some marvelous "Big Ben"
sounds to use too. I finally traded them all in for the
flite_time program, which I run every 15 minutes from crontab.

You can use something like "saytime" or "grandfatherclock" (those are the
debian packages) and set up your /etc/crontab to run them as often as you
want.

As someone suggested: you could use wave files of different times, run
through cron or the like.

Saytime is a program that will announce the time in a human voice. If you want,
you can set it to run as a cron job every hour.
