The say command certainly has some special processing when encounterring information in double brackets. That is why you can change the speed when using the save text as MP3 contextual menu. Best wishes, Jonathan On Apr 26, 2013, at 11:49 AM, Chris Blouch wrote: > Interesting. I wonder if t

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. CB On 4/25/13 5:40 PM, Sandi Jazmin Kruse wrote: hi chris. Yes that is true, that say will speak your ls, so it wo

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 s

No need to install espeak. Just pipe the text into the "say" command. For example, ls | say will speak the current directory contents. CB On 4/25/13 3:23 PM, Sandi Jazmin Kruse wrote: okay, lets take it a step further it is geeky so be warned. You could read your temps value from ioreg, and

Hi. I am pretty sure that will not be an issue, but thank you for the concern.

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

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: http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/ This article has a shell script and compiled binary that lets you control fan speed manually: http://myu

Hi, Sorry, I appear to have been a little confused. For the SMC Fan Control app, you can get it from the MacUpdate web-site. Just do a Google search on SMC Fan Control. I believe that the latest version, 2.4, is good for Leopard and newer as long as you have a Intel Mini. There is no SMC in

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... Tim Kilburn
