    Thanks a lot for this great plugin!

    Admittedly a bit exotic but let me mention it anyway 🙂
    If you have on your localhost WordPress installed – and if you..

    1) have a little Jetty Server running on your machine – built with the Java code here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Tutorial/Jetty_HelloWorld

    2) then you add below..
    response.getWriter().println("<h1>Hello World</h1>");
    this extra JAVA code..

    app_name = request.getParameter("app");
    if(app_name == "notepad"){
    ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("Notepad.exe", "myfile.txt");
    pb.start();
    }

    3) and then combine HookPress URL http://localhost:8080?app=notepad with hook “publish_post”
    ..then you start notepad.exe each time you publish a new post :- )

    Can be used for Point-of-Sale system. Each time a custom post of type of “pos_sale” is “published” the printer connected to the local PC is called and prints the receipt text file.
