Re: [orca-list] Cannot install speech dispatcher from git

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Oh, I'll bet you started speech dispatcher like you described but then
didn't logout and back in first.  I need to document that some place.
This is because an environment variable, $SPEECHD_ADDRESS has to be
set and this will be done automatically every time you login with any
user account (accept gdm).  When speech dispatcher starts on an Arch
Linux system, it makes the short shell script in
/etc/profile.d/speechd executable and when speechd is stopped, it
makes that same file unexecutable.  I don't know of any way to
automatically source this file whenever this changes for any currently
active users.  The only way I know is to log back in each time this
condition changes.  Now that I have everything tested out and all, I
have speechd start in the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf so speech
dispatcher is already running before any users login.  That way, the
environment variable is set appropriately and speech dispatcher can be
accessed by all users as a system service.
