[solved] dwm problem with a keybind for skype

hello,

my dwm is working fine so far, but i want to use skype with sound, so i need to start skype via

apulse32 skype

, which works fine when i start it from a bash or from my dmenu_run, but once i put this command into my config.h, it is not starting. here is my config.h:

};

i dont think there is a general problem with my config.h, because it runs perfectly when i replace
"apulse32 skype" with "skype".

thanks in advance smile

Re: [solved] dwm problem with a keybind for skype

You need to quote each part of the command, like this:

static const char *skypecmd[]  = { "apulse32", "skype", NULL };
