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 http://irmctl.sourceforge.net, from 
which I am moving into Savannah due to VA\\\'s change of attitude.
