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?
Thanks!

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, just put the commands you use into your startup scripts somewhere, on
my Slakware system I use /etc/rc.d/rc.local
