Creating a script to control my AV receiver

[mo-scellaneous]

Hello everybody, I am trying to build a small app and post on github for others to use.

 

I am trying to remap the volume up and down on my mac keyboard to control the volume on my amplifier. Right now my main concern is creating a daemon that will listen for the key press and send the appropriate command. The amplifier uses telnet. It works send things. The amp does respond back with a new volume, but I will work with that later. I know swift, but I cannot figure out how to create a daemon.

 

host=192.168.0.2

port=8102

cmd1='VU' //Volume up

cmd1='VD' //Volume down

 

( echo open ${host} ${port}

  sleep 1

  echo ${cmd1}

  sleep 1

  echo ${cmd1}

  sleep 1

  

  echo exit ) | telnet

 

Can anybody help me out?
