Subject description: Cyberchanting and the missing deity		  
been using dir2pet in Lucid 5.1 (from console) Smile

Managed to create this which puts the files just above root
http://tmxxine.com/chant/cyberchant.pet
- a menu entry is added but not yet usable
. . . near enough

run xpupsay-1.2-i486.pet which should be in the above root dir/folder
restart x and the ganesh.sh should run (right click and change permissions if not working)

Now the puzzle . . .
Why does Ganesh only appear sometimes?
(I appreciate that he is a representation of the Universal Brahman
- but even so) Wink
Maybe he does not appear at all for you and I am blessed?
Anyway need more Ganesh

Second problem is how to hit enter
in this bit of code
from the ganesh.sh
after adding a mantra number
(at the moment you click on OK once number added)

Code:
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
function input_message()
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
{
Xdialog --title "INPUT BOX" --inputbox \
"How many mantras to recite?" 0 0 2> /tmp/inputbox.tmp.$$
retval=$?
input=`cat /tmp/inputbox.tmp.$$`
rm -f /tmp/inputbox.tmp.$$
case $retval in
0)
echo "Input string is '$input'";;
1)
echo "Cancel pressed.";;
255)
echo "Box closed.";;
esac
repetitions=$input
}


Can the code be improved?
- I just 'nabbed from net' and added/hacked . . .

I'm not sure if xdialog can default with an enter key. Perhaps Gtkdialog would be ok as follows:

Code:

#! /bin/bash

export DIALOG='
<window title="Mantras" icon-name="gtk-dialog-question">
  <vbox>
    <hbox>
      <text>
        <label>Mantra Recitals:</label>
      </text>
      <entry activates-default="true">
        <default>How Many ??</default>
   <variable>NUM</variable>
      </entry>
    </hbox>
    <hbox>
      <button cancel></button>
      <button can-default="true" has-default="true" use-stock="true" >
        <label>gtk-ok</label>
   
      </button>
    </hbox>
  </vbox>
</window>
'
CHOICES=`gtkdialog3 --program=DIALOG`
eval $CHOICES
repetitions=$NUM


Must keep those musical apps healthy and well fed. Very Happy

Regards,
s

I cut and pasted your solution Seaside
and it solved both problems Smile

This is my sort of programming Wink
Thank you so much Very Happy

Interestingly you benefit and share in the merit of
any mantra recitations this inspires
In fact I will do extra as part of a challenge
http://imoveyou.com/

PS. and the code was more comprehensible to me

I have updated the program here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=445208#445208

and it works great Smile
but I would like to ensure that clicking in the close program
(x top left of initial dialog) does not start the program
but works the same as cancel

I would also like to have the ability to disable full screen mode
which is here in the code

Code:
#if [ "gtk-fullscreen" = "1" ]
#then
#echo true
#fi
#else echo false


but frankly I have not a clue what I am meant to be doing
any help offered is welcome Smile
