I wrote this app to launch a program from my computer that will sync my
palm pilot (USRobotics) automaticly.
Basicly it runs as a daemon, once setup it will execute any command you
give on the command line, once it notices the palm has been placed in the
cradle.
You still need to press the sync button on the cradle itself once it's
inserted.
Build it by running 'make', and then run 'make install' as root. Check
the make file to be sure it puts the binary and man page where you
want them.
You may need to create a symlink to your palm pilot cradle interface
(most cases, ttyS0 or ttyS1) to /dev/palm.
Example: ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/palm
Then follow on by launch it by running 'autopilot --help'
If you have any problems or suggestions, drop me an email.
Some of the code was inspired from Jeff Tranter's statserial (Hi jeff!)
