Overview

This program listen in the background for gamepad inputs. If a special button combination is getting pressed the provided command line will be invoked.

It's basically a copy of jstest and udev example implementations.

Main purpose for this development is a switcher between Kodi and Retropie with the PS3 controller.

Requirements

If you have many different /dev/inputs, you might adjust this program to search for special one.

Installation

Following example for Raspbian. Should work for many other distributions almost the same way.

• Use the precompiled binary in /bin or run "# make" to get the binary
• Place the binary to "/opt/bin" (if you change the folder, please update your init script)
• Copy the init script "utils/jslisten-init" to "/etc/init.d/jslisten"
• Execute "# update-rc.d jslisten defaults" to make the daemon run on startup
