Hello,

I want to:

1. Have 1 inferno plumber used by multiple inferno emu instances.

2. Open .pdf documents on the host (From what I gather, there is no way to display .pdf documents on inferno yet)

If anyone has such a setup working, could you please share your experiences/scripts?

Thanks

I can get this plumber rule to work for opening .pdf files using the host's mupdf. Not sure if there is a better way of going about it.

# postscript/pdf/dvi/doc go to host pdf reader
# the port is here for reference but is unused
kind is text
data matches '([a-zA-Z0-9_\-./]+)\.(ps|PS|eps|EPS|pdf|PDF|dvi|DVI|doc|DOC|epub|EPUB|cb[tz]|CB[TZ])'
data isfile $0
plumb to postscript
plumb start /dis/os.dis mupdf $file

It looks like you need to export/import /chan/plumb.input; see plumbmsg(2)
