I've been playing with the remote control, thought I'd share some
useful stuff I did. Please feel free to point out any improvements you
have!
When I press the power button I want to switch on/off the monitor and
unmute/mute the sound. I wrote a script to do this, which checks the
current monitor status and the current volume. Put a call to this
script in your lircrc for the power button.
11:57:38# cat /etc/lirc/powerbutton.sh
#!/bin/bash
VOLUME=$(aumix -vq | awk '{ print $3 }' )
MONITOR=$( xset -q | grep Monitor | awk ' { print $3 $4 } ' )
case "$MONITOR" in
"On")
xset dpms force standby
if [ "$VOLUME" != "0" ] ; then
mute
fi
;;
*)
xset dpms force on
if [ "$VOLUME" == "0" ] ; then
mute # unmute actually, but it is the same script.
fi
;;
esac
