I have this cheap bluetooth multimedia controller. The device is paired properly and the key presses are recognised (play/pause key in the example below):
Code:
[root] [~] # showkey
kb mode was UNICODE
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]
press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
keycode 164 press
keycode 164 release
How do I make this key press execute a shell command? I'm doing all this on an embedded device (Orange Pi) but I think that's not the problem here. The problem is that I don't have a direct screen nor keyboard connection to the machine. I only got a serial console and ssh. There is no any X window system and all the possible solutions I've found so far were for GUI Linux only. What can I do? I think this must be possible some way, considering that the OS can see the key presses.
