Is it possible to have a .js file be executed when a user signs in? I have a file that Nolageek created (a weather app) and I would like to use it here.
But I am not that good of a discoverer of ways to do things...So...if someone could teach me...thank you!!

I don't think it's possible to run JavaScript from Mystic, at least I haven't heard of anyone doing it yet.. :)

If that .js could be converted to MPL or python it would be easier to do.

... Given my druthers, I'd druther not.

That would be nice if Mystic could do javascripts :)

It probably could be done with the same spider monkey thingy (tm) that synchronet uses. It wouldn't surprise me if one of these guys around here doesn't just do it one of these days.. :)

... Put on your seatbelt - I'm gonna try something new!

You'd need java running, but I would think it was possible using DD. If the java is running on the system and the command will work via a shell (command line), then DD should be able to run it. An example is the original adventure game, it's possible to load it on any Linux system. So I loaded it and run it with:
(DD) Exec external program s10 /usr/games/adventure

Most things you can run from a command line should be able to run from mystic that way. You generally need the full path to the command as seen above.
