| I normally keep 2 user accounts logged in on my server: a “foreground” one for doing work, and a “background” one that runs all my home automation stuff.
It appears that the “say” verb doesn’t produce any output when run from an account that’s in the background. Is there any way around this?
One idea is to have a “helper” application running in the foreground account, and in the background account run something like this:
(where the SpeechHelper app would have an “articulate” handler that just called the “say” verb)
Will this work? Is there an easier way?
