Twittering Laser Tripwire with Webcam Capture

Step 5 Using open() in processing

The "open()" function works a little differently depending on your environment so you may need to find out what works for you, the method below should work.

Uncomment:
//open("/home/your_username/twitter.trip");

If you are using Nautilus or Thunar File Managers(XFCE and Gnome):
Navigate to twitter.trip and right-click it.
Select "Open with other application"
select "Use a custom command"
and type in "bash"

Processing is supposed to send executables to the shell to be run but after trying many methods this was the one that worked. This is also why the sketch has a .trip extension.
