Name

ipmpanel - Numonics IPM panel button utility

Synopsis

ipmpanel [ -dh ] [ -c file ]

Description

ipmpanel is a panel button utility for Numonics IPM devices. It reads its configuration from the file ipmpanel.conf and forks itself into background. The utility waits for the user to press the panel buttons on the Numonics IPM whiteboards. If a button is pressed the corresponding command in the ipmpanel.conf file is executed.

The configuration file consists of lines starting with a button specification and number following a "=" and the command to execute e.g.

BUTTON_01 = netscape

BUTTON_12 = xlogo

BUTTON_13 = xeyes

It necessary that the system is running the XFree86(1) server and the Numonics IPM module ipm(4) is loaded and active.

Supported Hardware

ipmcali supports the Numonics whiteboards IPM 1000RM and IPM 2000RM.
