My next guess -
try: com.lab126.system.event
similar to the example shown in the config file.

You could always blame that on the high quality documentation that comes with Closed Source software.

This is actually rather simple to do, at least on Kindle OS 5.17.0. To send an event use:

Quote:
lipc-send-event AAA.BBB.CCC your_event_name -s some_data
To wait for the event above use:

Quote:
lipc-wait-event AAA.BBB.CCC your_event_name
If you invoke the second command first from one ssh session and then invoke the first command from another, you will see the lipc-wait-event command display the given event name along with "some_data" included in quotes. You can use anything you like for AAA, BBB, and CCC, but I suggest using strings that are unique to you. To not exit after receiving the event and wait for more events, add a "-m" option to the lipc-wait-event command invocation.

Ummm... you did realize that you are responding to a thread in which the last message was posted in May, 2012?

Yes, but I was searching for similar material and came across this ... then figured out how to do this ... I decided to post against this thread just in case someone else comes across it looking for a solution. I also added a tutorial thread showing how to do this.
