wminput working as a listening daemon

[spiderworm]

wminput needs a daemon mode, where it can just sit there and listen for connecting wii remotes, and when a wii remote disconnects, it begins listening again... or perhaps listens even while one is connected, so that multiple wii remotes can connect.

sorry, this is a feature request, not a defect.

There have been a few scripts written that do this. Check them out on the ConfigScriptEtc page. Currently they only work with one wiimote, but I'm trying to get mine to work with more than one.

You can use the patches in ticket:38, the last main.c code support always listen when wiimote is in standby.

So later you can create /etc/init.d/wiimote

Let's try to keep one version of a given file around - the init script is at wiki:ConfigScriptEtc:wiimote

Take a look at the attached patch. It still needs some work, and I need to go through and make sure there are no issues with reinitialization, but I think it takes care of the daemon/reconnection/etc. needs.

Any feedback?
