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 termi-
       nates.  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.
