+	cmdpad - execute commands when a key is pressed, released or hold down. 
+	Should be started from /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local. To run it as deamon you 
+	need to start it with '&'. All logs are printed to standard out and standard 
+	error (to write the log to disk use cmdpad > /var/log/cmdpad). Cmdpad 
+	searches for /etc/cmdpad.conf and load the key bindings. Then wait for 
+	key event and check each command to see if it should be run.
