#! /bin/bash
echo "talkii usage: talkii <chandirhere>"

#templine:
echo "run flite -l -f talk"

#the gist of what i want
#tail -n1 out | flite -t $1

# this works...  sorta.

#with
#flite -l -f talk
#also running

watch -n1 -g stat -f out ;and tail -n1 out > talk ;and sleep 1 ;and echo > talk

talkii

#this "works".
#as in, it wont loop saying the whole of everything forever, and no need to wipe the out file.


#it's very janky and unreliable, but gets me to the next ballpark of development n cleaning this up to work cleaner, smarter, better.

###  so....    seriously      this is jaaaaaank.   janky janky.  so many holes it wont catch.   so, need to tighten it up, n get it such that it wont freak out, wont repeat things, wont miss things, wont need 2 commands running for it (get the flite into it)
