irexec

IREXEC(1)								FSF								 IREXEC(1)

NAME

       irexec - run programs with one button press

SYNOPSIS

       irexec [options] [config_file]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  lets  you  execute  arbitrary commands on an IR signal decoded by lircd, the LIRC daemon. You can give irexec a command line
       parameter which has to be a name of a valid config file. If no command line parameters are given irexec reads the default config file which
       is usually ~/.lircrc.

       If irexec executes a program it will wait until this program terminates.  So append a '&' to the command string if you don't want that.

       The config string consists of the command to be run.

       -h --help
	      display usage summary

       -v --version
	      display version

       -d --daemon
	      run in background

       -n --name
	      use this program name

OPTIONS

       If  you	add the --daemon option irexec will fork to background. That way you can easily start irexec from an init script. In this case you
       should specify a config file on the command line as irexec won't be able to find your home directory. Potential uses are shutting down  the
       computer, starting a dial-up connection etc.

NOTE

       If you start irexec, it reads your ~/.lircrc and reacts only on prog= entries that point to irexec. If you have included more than one pro-
       gram in your .lircrc, then start all these programs, they react itself only to their according entries in .lircrc.

SEE ALSO

       The documentation for lirc is maintained as html pages. They are located under html/ in the documentation directory.
