A compact daemon, ir-root-controller, listens to LIRC for signal detection.
One of the best things about ir-root-controller is that it's designed to be used as a system daemon, which means that you don't need to have any particular setup or configuration in place for it to work. Simply install the program and let it run in the background, while it handles the communication with LIRC and triggers the actions you've defined.
One possible application for ir-root-controller could be to adjust the system volume regardless of what applications are currently running, or if any users are logged in. This means that you could control the volume from a remote device or through a custom interface, without having to worry about which application is currently using the sound system.
Overall, ir-root-controller is a useful tool for those who want to manage system events and automate certain tasks on their Linux-based systems. With the latest release, a bug in the build system has been fixed, ensuring that the program runs smoothly and reliably.
