A very Mac addition to a build script

I create an update of Poker Copilot by running a build script in Terminal. It takes a couple of minutes to complete, so I often start it running then go do something else. If only I could be easily notified when the build script is complete...like if the computer could speak to me and say "build complete"...
On Mac OS X this is easy. From Terminal you can type

say "build complete"
and your obedient Mac will do just that.
So the last line of my build script tells the Mac to speak to me.
Perhaps better would be:
say "Hey Steve. Time to stop slacking off."

I'd definitely ask my Mac to say that..way better than a simple "build complete" ahah

@kinoute,

For technical reasons, it is quite hard to make Poker Copilot do the auto-update. I'd like to add it at some time though.

Regards,

Steve
