Custom commands / run bash script.

Hello.

 

 

I have a bash script I run manually to kill chrome launcher on XBMC, lets call it killme.sh

 

Is there any way to run this via flirc ? I dont mind renaming it and placing it in (for example) /usr/bin/ so I could call it

 

 

and chmod +x 3

 

Would I then be able to run it by pressing "3" on the remote ?

 

Any hints or tips would be great.

Hi,

 

Flirc can't just execute something in the OS by itself. You need some kind of application or script which will detect specific key press and then execute your script. All Flirc can do is to send key presses to the OS.

 

Read about a Triggerhappy which is a global hotkey daemon for Linux. It works even outside of user session and doesn't require X to do its job.
