There's halevt, and I can make it exec() something upon keypress, but during a cursory look, I could not find a way to distinguish between the different keys. halevt is nice though, as it allows system and per-user execution. That should finally get rid of all the sudo/su -c magic required to make the system do root operations like enabling wifi, as well as user configurations such as blanking the X display. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "wer schmetterlinge lachen hört, der weiss wie wolken schmecken." -- freiherr friedrich von hardenberg
