NAME¶
paneld - Cobalt admin menu for the LCD panel
SYNOPSIS¶
paneld [-d] [-h] [--] [
STRINGs]
DESCRIPTION¶
paneld is an admin tool for the LCD panel of Cobalt machines. By default,
it will display the current time and optionally a message. When you hold the
enter or
select button for a couple of seconds you will get an
admin menu. The menu will allow you to either halt or reboot your Cobalt
machine.
It is possible to pass a set of strings to paneld. In this case,
paneld
will loop through each argument and display the string for a few seconds in
the second line below the time. It will proceed with the next argument and
loop around when the last argument is reached.
If called with the
-d option
paneld will fork itself into the
background immediately.
The
-h option will make
paneld use scrolling horizontal menus
rather than the usual vertical menu.
