Name

====

`ma_capsblinker` and `ma_capsblinker_shell` -- make caps lock blink.

Synopsis

========

	ma_capsblinker LED

	ma_capsblinker_shell DEVICE

Description

===========

Ma_Sys.ma Capsblinker allows any of the keyboard's LEDs to be turned on and off

at a regular interval. This does not influence the actual state of the

associated key function and can thus serve as a general status indicator if the

regular function of the LED is not needed (e. g. today, few people use caps lock

and scoll lock LEDs).

The purpose of this proram is to serve as a GUI-independent indicator of the

computer running. For GUI usage, a displayed clock can be enough for the same

purpose or alternatively [progress(32)](../32/progress.xhtml) programs are

available.

Examples

========

Find out all possible LEDs (not all of them always work, the keyboards' seem to

work most often except for some timing issues):

	ls /sys/class/leds

Run the capsblinker for the first input device (one of the keyboards...)

	ma_capsblinker input0::capslock

Finally, to run the capsblinker as a service, set it up like this:

	systemctl enable masysma-capsblinker.service

	systemctl start masysma-capsblinker.service

Compilation

===========

To compile this program, an Ada compiler is needed e. g. as provided by Debian

package `gnat`. Additionally, the `ant` build tool is needed and can then be

invoked by running `ant`. To build a Debian package (with the necessary

dependencies installed), use `ant package`.
