For those who might be interested in running BASH commands from WMD (0.1.2), I just spent a couple of hours finding a *working* solution. Right now, i'm using it to control xmms through xmms-shell.

how it's done :
first I edited CommandMapper.py

1 : after
from wmd.EventBridges.uinputKeymap import * (line 3)

I added

import os

2 : add bash to the valid commands (line 9)

valid_commands = [ 'quit', 'key', 'click', 'WMDPower', 'bash' ]

3 : add a new def for the bash event (i did it between do_key & do_click)(around line 44)

def do_bash( self, state, parms ):
keyss = parms
self.os.system( state, keyss )

4 : save

5 : edit Config.py to add your custom BASH commands

example :
'A': ['bash', '/usr/local/bin/xmms-shell -e play &' ], # A key: xmms play
'L': ['bash', '/usr/local/bin/xmms-shell -e previous &' ], # prev
'R': ['bash', '/usr/local/bin/xmms-shell -e next &'] # next

i had to do two small scripts to control the incremental volume. they stored in /usr/bin/ and named volup & voldown

here is volup :
#!/bin/bash
x=`xmms-shell -e status |grep Left |tail -c3`
z=$(($x + 5))
xmms-shell -e "volume $z"

then just call them from Config.py, same as before :
'+': ['bash', '/usr/bin/volup &' ], # volup
'-': ['bash', '/usr/bin/voldown &' ], # voldown

et voila !


note : it may not be the best way to do it(I aint a programmer) but at least it works

have fun
