Mute shortcut problem...

[Israel]

Hi,
This is really nice!
You can easily make a script for this command.
simply save it in a text file with
#!/bin/bash on top
i.e.

#!/bin/bash
amixer -c 1 -q sset Master toggle && amixer -c 1 -q sset Speaker unmute
&& amixer -c 1 -q sset Headphone unmute

then you can try using that in openbox (assuiming you named your text
file file_name.sh)
<command>./file_name.sh </command>
If that wont work you can use bash
<command>/bin/bash file_name.sh</command>

Oh, don't forget to mark the script as executable!!
