The play_sound function does make a system call, which I then set in the config to be a shell script that does what I want. I don't see any other system call somewhere, and it would seem silly to add one when this one exists (really, if I wanted it to play a sound also, I could have it do that too while doing other things at the same time). -- Steve Huston - W2SRH - Unix Sysadmin, PICSciE/CSES & Astrophysical Sci Princeton University | ICBM Address: 40.346344 -74.652242 345 Lewis Library |"On my ship, the Rocinante, wheeling through Princeton, NJ 08544 | the galaxies; headed for the heart of Cygnus, (267) 793-0852 | headlong into mystery." -Rush, 'Cygnus X-1' _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
