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.
