Re: sending fake IR events to lircd from command line

[Karl B. <ka...@tu...>]

Hi Marc,

Heres a patch of some code to do this, it is a year old and I haven't
tried it since, so your milage may vary.
I recall using it with quotes to trick irsend into being happy about
the number of parameters, like:$irsend SEND_RELAY "message to relay".

Karl.
