Detect and run command upon mouse movement

I am trying to find a way to run a command upon any movement of a mouse.

The 1st statement shows the mouse co-ordinates. So it can detect mouse movement.

Code:
xinput test 9

First list input devices:

Code:
$ xinput list

If possible, I would like to use it in a bash script.

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
