Hi,
I have been doing some hacking on blackbox and wanted to share my
patches.
bb_exec.patch
This patch will modify blackbox.cc so that you can fire off a command
from your blackboxrc file. Use the line: session.execCommand: <your
command here>
If you have multiple things to fire off then you will have to trigger a
script from the .blackboxrc file that will do that for you.
bbkeys_readExec.patch
You may not have noticed but you cannot put paranthesis inside of the
'doThis' command in the .bbkeyrc file. Specifically you cannot have a
closing ')'. I made a patch that fixes this. So if you want to do
something wonky like:
doThis(/usr/bin/foo (some args | other args))
You can now do this and bbkeys will ingest it and excrete it to the
command line properly. (If you are thinking "Why the heck would I do
that?", then you use find differently than me :) )
Hope these are usefull to other people.
Eric H.
