I want to be able to read keypress events from a bash script. I know I
can read /dev/input/eventX but it gives me a ton of gibberish. I just
want to be able to read simple keystrokes, all of which will be numeric.
I am trying to use this for a headless remote control system. I have
tried with evtest which is better than the raw data, but still will take
tons of parsing. I am thinking a keylogger would work, but I bet there
is a better solution.
Basically I want to wait until a number and a linefeed are entered and
then do a command. No one will be logged in, so it has to be read from
raw input I assume.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeremy
