This is a weird script. It's a ruby script that creates a web server, |
| 10 |
but the web server listens for... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
It runs a python script that uses python-xlib to listen for key presses, |
| 13 |
and when a key is pressed it uses curl to open the connection to the |
| 14 |
ruby script.. when the ruby script receives a request it plays a sound. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So really it's the Python script that's doing all the work... If you can |
| 17 |
just try downloading the python script[1] and replacing 'curl |
| 18 |
http://localhost:4567/key' with 'aplay myfile.wav' |
