DESCRIPTION

S-Jog is utility that can use the Sony Programmable I/O Control device (SPIC), which is part of Sony Vaio's, to do various things:

-h, --help

CONFIGURATION

S-Jog reads its configuration from /etc/sjogrc or $HOME/.sjogrc if it exists.

An entry is defined by a name and a command. The name can contain spaces if it is put between double-quotes ("name").

The command is the path of the program to launch when the item is clicked or one of the 4 special keywords: brightness and volume will launch a setting window for the screen brightness and the speakers' volume, redo will rerun the last command launched, and hide does nothing and makes the menu disappear.

Lines beginning with a # are comment.

FILES

/etc/sjogrc, $HOME/.sjogrc
Configuration files read by sjog at startup. See /etc/sjogrc and /usr/share/doc/sjog/examples for examples.
/dev/sonypi
sonypi interface device file. You must be able to read the file to use this program.
