How can I trigger an action ?

Hi,
I'm new to linux (ubuntu 12) and to actionaz. So maybe this is a stupid question:
How can I call an auctionaz script without launching the editor, so it runs "invisible" in the background ? -
I could then assign a system wide keyboard shortcut. A handy way to create and edit this shortcut would be nice.
Cheers,
herrdeh

Hi,
You could use
actexec, it can run any Actionaz script file (.ascr).

Hello, thank you for the hint.
It works nicely on the command line - but when I paste the command line into a keyboard shortcut under ubuntu 12, nothing happens. I tried any thinkable combinations of keys - nothing works.
Are there any further tricks?
Cheers,
Wolf

It works for me on Mint 15 with the following script:
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<scriptfile>
<settings program="actionaz" version="3.8.0" scriptVersion="1.1.0" os="GNU/Linux"/>
<actions>
<action name="ActionMessageBox" version="1.0.0"/>
</actions>
<parameters/>
<resources/>
<script pauseBefore="0" pauseAfter="0">
<action name="ActionMessageBox">
<exception id="0" action="0" line=""/>
<exception id="1" action="0" line=""/>
<exception id="2" action="1" line=""/>
<parameter name="windowIcon">
<subParameter name="value" code="0"></subParameter>
</parameter>
<parameter name="message">
<subParameter name="value" code="0">Test</subParameter>
</parameter>
<parameter name="title">
<subParameter name="value" code="0"></subParameter>
</parameter>
<parameter name="textMode">
<subParameter name="value" code="0">automatic</subParameter>
</parameter>
<parameter name="ifYes">
<subParameter name="line" code="0"></subParameter>
<subParameter name="action" code="0">do_nothing</subParameter>
</parameter>
<parameter name="customIcon">
<subParameter name="value" code="0"></subParameter>
</parameter>
<parameter name="icon">
<subParameter name="value" code="0">none</subParameter>
</parameter>
<parameter name="type">
<subParameter name="value" code="0">ok</subParameter>
</parameter>
<parameter name="ifNo">
<subParameter name="line" code="0"></subParameter>
<subParameter name="action" code="0">do_nothing</subParameter>
</parameter>
</action>
</script>
</scriptfile>
I have put the script directly into my home folder, and created a keyboard shortcut that calls "actexec myscript.ascr".
Does it work when you create a keyboard shortcut that does other things, like starting another program?
