I love the lady's voice on booting Elive. Can someone send me a sound file with the same lady's voice warning me that my battery is critically low so I can set it to prompt me when my battery is low ?

You might want to look at what "texttospeech" applications can do for you.
"festvox" offers a few free voices ..... but of course there are more available on the net albeit that quite a few have to be paid for.

True i already did a search on the internet, several of the free voice were not as crisp as clear as the Elive one. Thanks anyway will keep looking.

True ... that one is a very old one which (I think) comes from IBM (or startrek) originally and wasn't especially texttospeech but a direct recording.
I remember "initiating start up sequence" and also a shutdown. 
There prolly is more but will be harder to find.
Did you check out these?

I checked the source code and even after changing echo $text to echo Initiating startup sequence nothing happens with any of the commented out ones, so I am 
No, that is a very specific IBM soundbite not one of the available voices.
Do some more research or read my post:
Sorry, didn't see that post.
