Ultra Hal 7.0 / More Control

« on: November 07, 2004, 07:42:03 am »

Hello again

Perhaps a better example would be...

hal run winamp
-Now running winamp

hal go to next track
-skipping track

hal turn the winamp volume down to 60%
-(hal turns the volume down)

I really dont know if this is possible but I would really like to know how to do it. So if anyone has any suggestions please share them.
Thankyou

Ultra Hal 7.0 / More Control

« on: November 07, 2004, 03:15:12 am »

I would really like to make hal more useful by being able to use hal to control all of my programs startup, shutdown and some control within the program
e.g.
hal run firefox
-running firefox
hal connect to www.google.com
-connecting to www.google.com
hal use google to search for norse mythology
-searching google
hal go to search page to on google
-connecting to page 2

Do you see what I mean?? I want to be able to use hal to control all parts of the application, not just open program and search help files.

Another thing is I would like to know is how I can get hal to perform a search of the local hard drive.

When I say search or find hal opens up IE and looks on google, could I say 'hal find out about gengis kahn' and hal would search google. But if I wanted to find something on the hard drive I could say 'hal search for fire.max'?

Another thing is how can I add more programs to hals list. At the moment hal does not know where winamp, firefox and some other programs are.
Thankyou
