RVM Wrapper

This is useful when creating keyboard shortcuts in Linux (and OSX).

rvm wrapper [version]@spotify-dbus [prefix] spotify-dbus

For example:

rvm wrapper 1.9.2@spotify-dbus wrapper spotify-dbus

Now you can bind a shortcut with the following command

/home/[name]/.rvm/bin/wrapper_spotify-dbus [cmd]

For example:

/home/bob/.rvm/bin/wrapper_spotify-dbus PlayPause
