[arm-allstar] Weather.sh?

[wb9rsq at me.com]

Sorry but I'm still missing something.
I see that condition.gsm is created each time I run weather.sh.
What I can't figure out is what line or lines of code in the weather.sh
actually generate the condition.gsm.
I can see how the text is obtained and even how it is tested but what
command takes the cleaned up text and builds the audio file?
tnx

The appropriate files are found and combines into one file which is stored
in /tmp called condition.gsm.  The actual output of this combined sound
file is done by the saytime.pl program if desired. weather.sh <ID>  only
prints the weather condition and saves the combined file. You can use it to
insert a weather condition voice yourself or use the existing saytime to do
it.

saytime.pl 18954 1998      - where 18954 is your zip and 1998 is the node
you want to send it to.
