To cut a long story short I need to implement a CEC server in order to allow my Samsung TV to interact with other peripherals. I plan on using a RPi for this purpose.

I have installed CEC-untils and can run the tvservice monitor to look for HDMI events. I now need a simple script that will run on boot to issue a command on one of these events.

The output of the tvservice monitor is:

Code:

/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -M
Starting to monitor for HDMI events
[I] HDMI cable is unplugged
[I] HDMI is attached

My script meeds to look something like:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -M

If  "[I] HDMI is attached"
then do "some command"

END

Thanks
