Using awk rule idea.
Code:
ff=file.txt

sort -t";" -k3 -k2 $ff | \
   awk -F";" -v keyfld=3 '
      # - next key value
      $keyfld != prevkey { 
                print toupper($keyfld) 
                }
      # - every line
                { 
                print $0
                prevkey=$keyfld
                }
   '

Or using ksh
Code:
prevkey=""
oifs="$IFS"
typeset -u key
sort -t";" -k3 -k2 $ff | while read line
do
        IFS=";"
        set -A flds -- $line    # to array, 1st index 0 
        IFS="$oifs"
        key=${flds[2]}
        [ "$prevkey" != "$key" ] && print "$key"
        print "$line"
        prevkey=$key
done

irsend - basic LIRC program to send infra-red commands SYNOPSIS
irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...] DESCRIPTION
Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc. DIRECTIVE can be: SEND_ONCE - send CODE [CODE ...] once SEND_START - start repeating CODE SEND_STOP - stop repeating CODE LIST - list configured remote items SET_TRANSMITTERS - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...] SIMULATE - simulate IR event REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file. CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
