It works with any input event recognized by the evtest program.\n\n### Usage\nBy default, eventrun is located in /usr/bin/eventrun, and is executable only by the root user. The input device to listen to and events are configurable in /etc/eventrun. Each eventrun instance can react on several input events on the same input device, if the configuration file is modified accordingly. Additionally, a SystemV-style service is installed in /etc/init.d, which allows to run this program daemonized on system start if the administrator enables it manually.\n\n### Building and packaging\nThis program is only composed of shell scripts, so no compilation is necessary. It should work in any GNU/Linux box that has a POSIX shell and the needed dependencies.\n\nHowever, it is distributed as a .deb package that is generated with a Makefile. To create the eventrun .deb package, you only need to make changes to the installed files, and then run:\n\n```console\n$ make\n```\n\n# Installation\nYou can get the official .deb package from the [releases page](https://github.com/AlexTMjugador/eventrun/releases). Installing the package is pretty straightforward:\n\n```console\n# dpkg -i eventrun_1.0-1.deb\n```\n\nIf dpkg complains about missing dependencies, make sure you install them first.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falextmjugador%2Feventrun","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falextmjugador%2Feventrun","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falextmjugador%2Feventrun/lists"}
