Re: Playing wav sound file in Linux in background?
Yes, of course. I shall have to try this on the printing script. Thanks! There is also, for completeness, the nohup command, which lets a process run after the terminal session has closed, might come in handy in similar situations.

That's assuming you want the Recordings folder in the same folder with the standalone: put the effective filename of current stack into theTargetPath set the itemDel to / put recordings/ into last item of theTargetPath Then make sure there really is a folder named recordings in the target directory. If not, create it. Otherwise it won't work. When running a standalone, the defaultfolder is the one containing the standalone, and all files will be created there unless directed somewhere else by a fully qualified file path. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Playing wav sound file in Linux in background?
John, Try using the command like shell(aplay path-tofile ) This last will run the command in the background, the command should return imediatly to the stack while the sound play (I think, untested) On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 8:04 PM, John Patten johnpat...@mac.com wrote: Hi All...

Re: Playing wav sound file in Linux in background?
Thanks Everyone... ... and Andre all try out you suggestion on the shell command when I get a second. I solved the issue by just looking a little closer and the man file for arecord and discoverd that I could just change the file format to one that Revolution could handle. It used -f u8 and that did the trick. I have one other question about getting the correct path to a directory in a standalone where I save my stack saves the audio file. It works fine when I'm in Revolution editor, but after I save it as a standalone it saves the audio file in the wrong location. I was under the impression that Windows and Linux did not have an issue with file paths when saved as standalones, but I may be doing something incorrectly. Here's what i have: put the effective filename of current stack into theTargetPath set the itemDel to / delete last item of theTargetPath delete first item of theTargetPath put / theTargetPath /recordings/ into theRecordingTarget convert the date the long time to seconds put it into tFileNameRec put tFileNameRec into cd fld audioFileName send mouseUp to btn Stop Recording in 10 secs put arecord -d 10 -fu8 -t wav into tShellCmd put shell(tschellCmdtheRecordingTargetFilenameRec) This works fine when I'm in the editor (saves to the recordings folder), but when I create a standalone the standalone saves the audio file as student in the location of the directory that I select to build the standalone. Any advice on what I'm missing with this little Linux process? Thank you!

Re: Playing wav sound file in Linux in background?
We need someone like Andre to help on this. I have had a similar problem with printing from the shell, the app prints, but if the shell command does not complete, it hangs, so would like to know the answer to the general question of how to get shell commands running in the background. I suspect you have to spin off the process to a separate stack, and call it from that with the opening of the second stack (which could be invisible of course). Then it will fire up and not affect the message flow in the first one. But that's just a guess. Andre could help us.

Re: Playing wav sound file in Linux in background?
It may be bothersome to re-encode, but one does not get better quality by decoding then saving as uncompressed. If the files are going to be full size, why not take advantage of the better quality by 're-encoding'.

Re: Playing wav sound file in Linux in background?
He has a solution, surely, it is to do it from the shell. His problem is that when he goes out to the shell, it does not then play in the background. If he calls the shell command from a separate stack, will it not then leave the original stack to just go on? So the effect will be to play in the background, and leave the user free to interact with the main stack? Of course, he'll have to handle error conditions in the second stack. This had never occurred to me till he wrote in, but it might be the solution to my printing problem. The problem is similar. You call the shell command to print, using lp, but if the printer is offline, everything freezes until it comes back online and can complete. But if the print command were to take place from a separate stack, presumably the top stack would just carry on running having passed over the shell command to the second one?
