I have upgraded to Fedora 15 from Fedora 14 and festival is not exiting
when executed as noninteractive.  When run as interactive, it exits
imediately after first SayText command.

I still have a Fedora 14 install to compare with.  Interactive mode on
Fedora 14 does *not* exit after first SayText command.

I am using festival with nagios.  Same configuration files. And it does
work, but after a notification, the festival process does not exit. These just addup in the process list.

Any advice on this issue?
I'd like to help, if I can find time. I suggest you try the following general points:

- Making very sure you send a CTRL+D (EOF) character to Festival's input stream.

This is the command used similar to what is used in nagios script.
/bin/echo "The time is, `date +%l:%M`" | /usr/bin/festival --tts

This looks like it might be something to with the audio device not flushing properly.

What about

/bin/echo "The time is, `date +%l:%M`" | /usr/bin/festival -b --tts

You may have to resort to using text2wave and then calling aplay on it, if its short utterances that will be a reasonable work around, if its long text where you want it to stream it wont be.

This works in fedora 14 as is.  I tried this.
/bin/echo -e "The time is, `date +%l:%M`\x04" | /usr/bin/festival --tts

This changed nothing.  When called from a bash script, the festival
process is left running.  When run from command line, I get this where
the 'e's repeat 100's of times (eventually stops) but does not return me
to a prompt.  I must enter CTRL+C to exit.

audsp: unknown command "closeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The audsp looks like an audio component.

This is what I have in my .festivalrc file.
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -D plug:dmix -q -c 1 -t raw -r $SR $FILE")
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Format 'snd)

- File a Fedora bug as well, and let me know the URL, just in case it's related to support libraries etc more than anything else.
I will file a bug report and let you know the url.
- Downgrade to FC14 again. I did because gnome3 was a nightmare to deal with.
The two machines are test machines.  Only reason one is still running
fedora 14 is because it does not have the memory to install fedora 15. I work out the bugs one these before I install something new on our
servers.  So reverting back to fedora 14 is unnecessary.  I never boot
to xwindows, I have it configured to boot to console which is its normal
state (runlevel3).
Once you've done the first two, I may be able to test the same out on my own systems to help you resolve it, as I've contributed several additional festival packages to Fedora and am pretty familiar with how it ought to be working.
