Interesting. I wonder if there were some special characters that say
interpreted as commands rather than stuff to say. Say normally shouldn't
care what the source of the text is.

hi chris. Yes that is true, that say will speak your ls, so it would
be reasonable too believe it would also speak the temp, right?
But here is the funny thing it wont. I have thankfully forgotten why
it is indeed so, but we had quite a bit of a headache with it when we
had too rewrite the speech system for flightgear. The way the
speechsystem works for flightgear is nearly the same, you pipe stuff
from the simulator into the macs own tts, but that is another storry
intirely....

No need to install espeak. Just pipe the text into the "say" command.
For example,
ls | say
will speak the current directory contents.

okay, lets take it a step further it is geeky so be warned. You could
read your temps value from ioreg, and pipe its contents out too say,
espeak through grep...

Hi. I am pretty sure that will not be an issue, but thank you for the
concern. And i should add that i dont mean that in any sarcastic way,
but the mac mini i use right now usually have its temp maxed out due
too the flightsimulator its normally being tortured with. Also C a
high temperture for a mac is not like a windows computer in its 70 but
closer too its 90's. It all comes down too if you are aware about the
matter or notButt i had forgotten about spoken alerts from
temp-monitor.
Also, if you try too put load on the cpu you will hear the fan going
up and down long before it becomes an issue.

As it says in the article, be careful not to melt your mac by turning
down the fans when you really should have them up. You can use
something
like Temperature Monitor to check how things are going:
http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
UI is pretty accessible and you can set it up to speak any alerts when
something gets too hot.

hi.
The last one was exactly what i was after. And whats more it works
beautifully. I have always been tired of hearing my computer, and this
is just working.
Even under load it works adoringly. So once again thanks :)

I haven't been following this very close but if SMC Fan Control is
not
accessible, is FanControl? I've never used but maybe they got it
right:

This article has a shell script and compiled binary that lets you
control fan speed manually:

hi, i properly should have been more clinical in my mail. Sorry
about

:)
What i need smc fan control for is too raise the fans rpm, i could
do
it from the kernel extensions, but it is rather geeky, and i need
the
mini too last at least till 44 days out in the future.
Tim, i can quite happily reset my smc sensors, that is not going too
help on the lack of ventilation, though.

Hi,
To reset the SMC on an Intel based Mac:
1. Shutdown the computer.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Leave it unplugged for 15 to 30 seconds.
4. Plug it back in.
5. Wait about 10 seconds.
6. Press the power button to turn the machine back on.
That should do the trick.
Later...

Thing is, i have had too whip out my trusty leopard mini again,
but

runs hot like 85 deg c hot, and well it is not healthy in the long
run.
I could be like i dont care, but well since it is one of the mac
minis
that runs perfectly with out a monitor, i do care quite a bit
