need to run a shell command on key press

[seshugagan]

I need to run this command "sudo echo "pause" | telnet 127.0.0.1 9090" on a key press. I have included it in example.ini. It is giving an error "sudo: unable to resolve host max2play".

I can run that command
inputexec --action-commands=/usr/local/example.ini --source-file=/dev/input/by-path/platform-b0170000.i2c-platform-atc2603c-irkeypad.0-event-mouse --action-mode=run_sync

manually on the terminal it is working fine. Could you please help.

if it is working fine in the terminal, my suggestion is to put the command in a bash script and call the bash script with inputexec. Maybe that helps.

Thank you

Indeed, this suggestion is the best way to go here - inputexec does not parse the command line and won't interpret pipes.
