# set reporting level
ReportLevel=2

# PidFile location when running as daemon [default: /var/run/lcdexec.pid]

# display name for the main menu [default: lcdexec HOST]
#DisplayName=lcdexec


# main menu definition
[MainMenu]
# the Entry=... lines (one for each menu entry) tell it is a menu definition
Entry=CmdA
Entry=CmdB
Entry=MenuC

# definition of a command
[CmdA]
# name to display in the menu instead of the section name
DisplayName="You can say A"
# the exec=... line tells that it is a command
Exec="echo a"
# show a temporary feedback screen upon completion [default: no; legal: yes, no]
Feedback= yes

[CmdB]
DisplayName="Or you can say B"
Exec="echo b"

# a menu contains an Entry=... line for each menu entry
[MenuC]

[CmdQ]
DisplayName="Show environment"
Exec="env"
#   Now you can change parameters for commands within lcdexec.
# Parameters are handed to the program as environment variables;
# so they can be easily used in the Exec=... line as $XXX
# (e.g. "echo $SLIDER_ARG").
#   Please note: commands with parameters get an action entry
# added to end of the parameter menu automatically.
# Activating this action named "Apply!" will execute the program.
# This is IMHO not ideal, but the best idea I could come up with.
# I'm open for ideas to improve it.
#   Here's how paramters get defined:

Parameter=RING_ARG

# Ideas for further extensions (patches welcome):
# - shell selectable in command sections
# - display configurable result of a command on the display
# - jump to other menus depending on the output/result of a command
