cmdpad - execute commands when a key is pressed, released or hold down. Should be started from /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local. To run it as deamon you need to start it with '&'. All logs are printed to standard out and standard error (to write the log to disk use cmdpad > /var/log/cmdpad). Cmdpad searches for /etc/cmdpad.conf and load the key bindings. Then wait for key event and check each command to see if it should be run.

SECURITY WARNINGS :

Local users can found and use exploit attacks to run commands at root privileges.
If one or more users (or pet :) have the access to the USB keyboard (or mouse, joystick, gamepad) can trigger events without your controls.

Supported operating systems:

Linux with input subsystem modules.
