[Solved] Help with a daemon or a better idea
Hi,
I tried to make a small script that will be executed by irexec when I press a remote key. I wanted to make it execute something else when I press it more than 2 seconds. I came to this (not finished):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
file="/home/energiya/.remote"
time=2
times=8
vs=`date +%s`
function write_data
{
echo $vnr > $file
echo $vs >> $file
}
function check_number
{
exec 3< $file
read <&3 vnr
read <&3 s
sub=$(($vs - $s))
if [ $sub -gt 10 ]; then
write_data
else
if [ $sub -lt $time ]; then
vnr=$(expr $vnr + 1)
echo $vnr > $file
echo $s >> $file
else
{
if [ $vnr -gt $times ]; then
sub=$(($vs - $s))
echo $vnr $sub
echo "**********************************"
fi
vnr=0
write_data
}
fi
echo $vnr
fi
}
if [ -e $file ]; then
check_number
else
write_data
fi
The thing is that it writes to the hdd every time I press a remote key and it writes a lot when I keep it pressed, so I'm now thinking a daemon will be better. But how do I build a daemon that can recive input from irexec? I don't care in what programming/scriping language it's made... I can handle it. I want it to be able to modify the values in memory and not write it to the hdd.
Could someone please help?
Thanks in advance! |
