                 ;;
         *)
               ;;
     esac

end script

wich user uses this script?, i got a problem now : i stoped using the "kaku" script because it worked terrible, i went to pilight now and made a script wich can be activated with

Terminal

sudo python /home/xbian/lights.py arg

arg can be replaced with "play" "pause" and "stop"
but pilight needs root... so i though maybe i can give wich user uses this script nopwd premission for pilight (i'm not even shure how to do that so i'm going to ask curlymo if doesn't already responses on this thread

luke

-edit-
i made it possible without root using direct path

---

okay... next problem, even tough it logs the items it doesn't seem to execute the script, any ideas?
