#!/bin/bash # ############################################################################# # nlay: a customizable script to play files in different apps by file type # # usage: nlay file type # # MUST READ: # # 1. Feel free to change the default apps to your favourite ones. # If you change the app for a group you may also need to modify the opts and # bg settings. If bg is set the app is detached and started in the background # in silent mode. # # The bg setting depends on personal preference and type of app, e.g., # I would start vim (CLI) in the foreground but Sublime Text (GUI) in the # background. # # Check (and TOGGLE as you wish) the default bg settings. # # 2. Detached apps are not killed when nnn exits. Use kill(1) or killall(1) to # to stop console based background apps. # # 3. nlay is OVERWRITTEN during nnn upgrade. You can store your custom nlay in a # location other than the default and have an alias with nnn option '-p' to # invoke it. Remember it might break or lack new capabilities added to nlay # in future releases. Check the file diff once in a while. # # Author: Arun Prakash Jana # Email: engineerarun@gmail.com # ############################################################################# # Enable the lines below to handle file by extension # This is provided for using a custom player for specific files # $ext holds the extension </dev/null 2>&1 &" ">/dev/null 2>&1 &") #--------------- SCREENSAVER ---------------- elif [ "$2" == "screensaver" ]; then app=vlock #opts= #bg=">/dev/null 2>&1 &" type -P $app &>/dev/null && eval $app $opts $bg exit 0 fi #----------------- RUN APP ------------------ for index in ${!app[@]} do type -P ${app[$index]} &>/dev/null && eval ${app[$index]} ${opts[$index]} "\"$1\"" ${bg[$index]} && break done
