You inspired me. I just wrote this quick script to display my
MythNews headlines. Anyone know if it's possible to trigger an
external script while watching TV? I set it to run every hour,
but I'd much prefer it to run when I hit a button on my remote
and feel like being depressed.
man irexec
Use irexec. Example:
1) create /etc/irexec.conf or maybe a local user conf
2) put there something like this (just the stuff between the ===):
===
begin
prog = irexec
button = NEWS_BUTTON
config = /usr/local/bin/mynews
end
===
the config = [command] line specifies what [program] to execute
when you press the button. The button, of course, must have been
defined in lircd.conf
3) put in one of your boot scripts this line:
/usr/bin/irexec -d /etc/irexec.conf
Perfect. Thanks!
