==== Description: ====
A simple deamon to cicle toward a list of commands at the recieve of a
event.
Events may be: signals, new data on a file/fifo, or on a socket.

Mainly a auto didactical project to restart working with C.

It will be GPLv3 and designed for UNIX (developed on a Debian GNU/Linux
station).
It may be ported in Plan9 (and rewritten as a file server).

An example usage would be the automatic screen rotation on a tablet (actually
what inspired me :-D)...

It will depend on libconfuse (and on standard C library).

Actually no code has been written. Sorry.


==== Other Software Required: ====
http://www.nongnu.org/confuse/


==== Other Comments: ====
# screenrotate.conf
# configuration example (according to libconfuse syntax)
# other options might obviusly be added
Listener
{
        type = signal # might be socket / file
}
LogFile  = "cicled.log"
LockFile = "cicled.pid"

Cicle SwitchScreen
{
        Actions = {
                "xrandr -o normal",
                "xrandr -o right"
        }
        Handler = /bin/sh       # will recieve the actions in stdin
        AutoStart = true        # default true (if false will ignore signal 
until the
start() one)
        LogOutput = true
        LogError = true
}

On SIGWINCH { next(SwitchScreen) execute(SwitchScreen) }

# On SIGWINCH { start(SwitchScreen) stop(SwitchScreen) reset(SwitchScreen)
previous(SwitchScreen) }
