IREXEC(1) User Commands 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.

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

lircrcd - daemon to handle consistent .lircrc state among client applications
SYNOPSIS
lircrcd [options] config-file
DESCRIPTION
lircrcd reads the given .lircrc config file and synchronises the mode that the LIRC clients using this config file (irexec(1), irxevent(1)
, etc.) are in. Using lircrcd has to be explicitly enabled in the config file by adding the following line at the beginning of the file:
#! lircrcd
-h --help
display this message
-v --version
display version
-p --permission=mode
file permissions for socket
-o --output=socket
output socket filename
OPTIONS -p, --premission=mode
The --permission option gives the file permission of the Unix domain socket lircrcd creates on startup in octal representation. Read
the documentation for chmod for further details. If no --permission option is given when the socket is created the default is to
give only the user owning the file read and write permissions (0600 in octal representation).
-o, --output=socket
With the --output option you can select the Unix domain socket, which lircrcd will create. The default is to append a "d" character
to the config filename given.

I am writing a C program that part of the idea is to using a command line parameter to control not to run certain part of the sub program.
I am totally new to C, I do not have any idea how to pass a command line arguments from a C program.
Can anyone help ?!

Hello,
After seeing in a Unix cheatsheet that I could add commands into a file and run that file as a command to save on typing, i tried it with this:

Hello everyone,
can you advice on how to execute a script passing parameters to it as well as requesting it to run in the background?

Hi guys,

which any-command
and if it finds any-command I want to run it ...
I can use echo $? to see what the which command... (2 Replies)
Hi,
in my program i need to run an external program in background.I am aware that there are at least 2 alternatives for this:
1)fork+exec
2)system("program &");
I have read several posts about this,and they all tend to suggest to use fork+exec (and that's what i am doing now).
I have some... (2 Replies)
How does X windows system launch a program?
Does X give init a command (fork) or does x give BASH a command? Can/does X interact with init directly or does everything go through BASH? :wall:
Thanks in advance! (4 Replies)
NOTE: I am using BASH and Solaris 10 for this.
Currently in the process of building a script that has a main "watcher" daemon that reads a configuration file and starts background processes based on it's global configuration. It is basically an infinite loop of configuration reading. Some of the... (4 Replies)
Hi all,
I wrote a couple noobie programs and had them compiled over Putty (using gcc), but I don't know what command I should use to run them.
Please assume that I'm a complete noob when it comes to programming and putty commands.

Hi all :)
It sounds complex, for example
I want to find the whole html file (there are 5 entries of this string and I need to get all of them) for the string
"<td class="contentheading" width="100%">", get the next line from it only till the point that says "</td>", plus removing \t (tabs)
