Hi, guys, I've searched everywhere on Google and the group for postings about this, but can't find anything. I'm setting up an "appliance" machine and want to simply bind shell commands to a keypress on a numeric kepad. One of the functions is to control mpd for MP3 playing, amongst others.
I DO NOT use X, which precludes things like hotkeys etc. Simply booting an ncurses interface into one of the virtual terminals that would listen for a keypress and then execute a shell command would do it, but I've searched high and low for such an thing but can't find it. I can get the keycodes from showkey, but that's about it. Maybe there's a way to do it in the inittab? Can't find anything in the documentation on that though. I suppose coding a simple app could do it, but I didn't really want to get into that as I'm sure others have faced this type of thing before.
