wait4remote
wait4remote is tiny utility that you can use from bourne shell scripts to wait for a button push on the remote controller.
# ./wait4remote
- wait for keys or buttons to be pushed on remote control
[-v] [-t sec] x,str [ y,str ... ]
options:
-v : verbose, print key codes
-t sec : timeout waiting for button after 'sec' seconds
x,str : 1,eject 2,info. Return 1 when Eject button pushed
If this program does not know the remote control key code, you can
use 1,239 for EJECT.

If you use "1,EJECT 2,INFO" as the argument, wait4remote will return code "1" when EJECT button is pushed, or "2" when INFO button is pushed.
If bourne shell you can use:
wait4remote 1,EJECT 2,INFO if [ $? = 2 ]; then echo "INFO button was pushed" fi
