Re: using espeak to echo the amount of RAM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Glenn,

grep -i MemTotal /proc/meminfo |espeak
will give you the size in kilobytes.
To hear only the number of kilobytes:
grep -i MemTotal /proc/meminfo|sed "s/[^[:digit:]]//g"|espeak

Cheers,
Didier
