3 ppowerd - Daemon for controlling x10 hardware.
7 B<ppowerd> S<[I<OPTION>]...>
11 Ppowerd is the daemon program for accessing x10 hardware. Ppowerd sits in
12 the background waiting for client requests or for x10 messages to come in
13 over the power line. If you have defined a macro in your configuration file
14 and the event received is a valid trigger for it, the macro will be
15 executed. Macros can contain UNIX commands to run as well as commands to
16 send to the x10 hardware.
