Let's see... I'd expect f.exec could be used in dtwmrc. I don't expect .motifkeys with xmbind would work, since it seems to be aimed at other uses. Solaris used something like this in the "Keys DtKeyBindings" section to get keyboard volume control: <key>SunAudioMute root|icon|window|ifkey f.exec /.../muteVolume <key>SunAudioRaiseVolume root|icon|window|ifkey f.exec /.../volumeUp <key>SunAudioLowerVolume root|icon|window|ifkey f.exec /.../volumeDown where /.../ is /usr/dt/appconfig/sdtvolctl/ So you could put the commands you have in quotes in place of the commands above, and then s/Sun/XF86/. I see something about "SAC" (Solaris Audio Control), as well as sdtaudioctl (the latter is Sun's program, the former is a FOSS alternative.) And apparently there was once another program known as audiocontrol, which shipped with HP/UX and older Solaris versions.
