Package: InfraRed MultiConTrolLer
System name: irmctl
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

My project is a daemon that listens on a serial device for codes. 
Those codes usually come from infrared remote controllers. 
Currently it only supports Evation\\\'s irman [ http://www.evation.com/irman ]. 

This daemon, after reading two configuration files (the second [ remote 
controller ] is indexed by the first [irmctl.conf]) it waits for a code. 
Depending on the configuration, it will launch a command, or execute a builtin 
supported function. 
  
This way, with a remote controller, I have a sort of shell with which I change 
channels on xawtv, play the next song on xmms, suspend the computer, etc etc 
etc... 

It already exists and you can see it at Sourceforge. The files there do not 
have the correct free software header on the .c and .h files, but I don\\\'t 
have an account anymore (weird) so you can fetch it from 
http://greymalkin.yi.org/fs/irmctl . 
I am moving into Savannah due to VA\\\'s change of attitude.
