Weird. Kernel#system returns true if the command succeeded and false
otherwise, so it should work as is.

You could try:
  system "open '#{filename}'"
  $?.success?

But there's no reason that should work and the original shouldn't. You
don't have a debugging print statement or anything like that as the
final line of the hook, do you?

Good point. Backslashes optional though. :)
