Subject: [sup-talk] how to have an hook play a sound
Date: Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:11:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1199552937-sup-9378@clarabella.clarabella> (raw)
Hi again, I do not speak ruby and I am trying to write an after-poll.rb
which plays a sound when there are new messages.
I have tried several things, but probably I am misunderstanding
something radical. I would like that it executes the sound when the
variable @num (the number of polled messages) is >= 1.
My less absurd try is perhaps:
if @num>=1
system "/usr/bin/aplay -q <mysound>"
end
but I get the following error:
Error running hook: undefined method `>=' for nil:NilClass
With:
if @num!=0
system "/usr/bin/aplay -q <mysound>"
end
The sound is always player, also when there is no new message polled.
I have tried to define or declare a class or a method somewhere, but I am really
lost.
Any help?
