Writng daemon and wake up on demand.

Writng daemon and wake up on demand.

[Payasam Manohar]

I have two doubts,
    1) Can we design a linux daemon which will call some shell scripts.
    2) How to call this daemon from the keyboard driver  and how
       to kill it on demand.

Please cc ur replies to my mail id.

   Thanks&Regards,
   P.Manohar,

It would be much easier for us to point you in the right direction if you
stopped thinking "we must call shell scripts from the keyboard driver", and
explain what problem you're trying to solve (i.e., *WHY* are you trying to
do this - is it "we need a keystroke logger", "we need keypress timing and
latencies", or some other higher-level explanation of your problem)....

I don't want to be impolite, but you're not following the mailing list 
etiquette *at all*.

In the last five days you sent 15 messages to the list, and you still 
haven't been able to tell what you're trying to accomplish.

So I can only recommend a few urls:
