regarding speech-dispatcher, dectalk and the init script

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi
My script looks like this:

--script starts here--
#!/bin/sh
# rc.local - local startup script
#
# Get speech up and running:
/usr/local/bin/speech-dispatcher
sleep 1
modprobe speakup_sftsyn
/usr/local/bin/speechd_up
# Copy the speech settings:
cp /etc/speakup/sftsyn/* /proc/speakup
--script ends--
As can be seen, the script is extremely simple.
