My laptop went down a few days ago and I lost my short sound script. I thought someone here could help me rebuild it. It was something like this:

Better post: if sound prog were "pback" the command would be 

pback file[s]

#!
FILE=$1;

cat FILE | [forgotten command]

#End

Can anybody help me with the command?

I think you are looking for festival

  • YES! I just got a new k'board; fun, fun. May the devil not know you're dead for a few hours [or years] after you've cashed in! – Gary Kline Aug 09 '19 at 00:36
