Runkey -for kiosk or console systems
Linux Manual  so far

using a button user interface...


INTRODUCTION
============
This app lets the user 
press a key on keyboard key to run a shortcut or script that executes a program or command.

The user can then shut down or reboot the system.

No Graphical Interface needed after setup.


HOW TO SETUP
============
Files and knowledge needed.

-How to run program files.
-How to create sh files or basic bash scripting
-Safe practices for computer - turn on or off without writing to disk

ADMINISTRATOR USAGE
============
After the program is running and a keyboard key is pressed.... 
The programs are set to look for either a keyboard lettered filename ending in .out or .sh in the same directory.  Then exit 

STANDARD USER USAGE
============
1.  Start the computer
2.  Press the key for the desired program.
3.  After using the program,  turn off or restart the computer

EXAMPLE TEST
============

now you can set your desktop pc up so pressing l key will run l.sh if you set it up in that directory
Example:
place runkey-rpi4b-32bit-sh.out in a directory
create a shell script labled: l.sh
when you run runkey-rpi4b-32bit-sh.out it will ask what key to press.
if the shell script is set to run for example: libreoffice, runkey-rpi4b-32bit-sh.out will run libreoffice when the l key is pressed. Then the runkey-rpi4b-32bit-sh.out program will exit.

2.  Turn computers into an early tv console or sales kiosk like experience.
3.  Easy to use, no gui but bui - button user interface.



CHANGELOG
============
Thursday April 20, 2023
  Created 2 seperate linux binary and source code.  Binaries compiled for raspberry pi4b.  Linux Source code should be pretty hardware indepen
