Yes it speaks.

But in fact, that script is not working. Here is what I did:

Just copied the following line:

#!/bin/bash
ping -q -c 3 www.google.com > /dev/null
rc=$?
if [ ${rc} -ne  0 ]
then
espeak "Internet connection may be down" >/dev/null 2>&1
fi

in a file and named it as* alert.sh*. After this went to the terminal and
run::
*
sudo chmod +x alert.sh*

Disconnected the net but no sound came! What should I do?
