Debian avr evtd

Why you should not use kuroevtd
kuroevtd is old and is not working well ! Most people can't switch off their kurobox by pressing the power button, and it's kuroevtd's fault ;) kuroevtd's author didn't stopped his project, he just renamed it to avr_evtd as it can runs on the kurobox, but also on linkstation devices !

When you have installed Sylver's improved Debian image, this has already been done!

Install avr_evtd
tar xzf avr_evtd020606.tar.bz2 cd avr_evtd/usr/src/avr_evtd apt-get install gcc apt-get install libc6-dev make avr_evtd make install cd /etc/rc0.d/ ln -s ../init.d/avr_evtd K20avr_evtd
 * Download avr_evtd from this page and move it to /: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=167880&package_id=190867
 * de-tar the file (was called avr_evtd020606.tar.bz2 when writing this guide)
 * Make sure you have installed the required packages to compile these files
 * Build the file
 * Install the file
 * Make avr_evtd running at startup and stopping at shutdown

cd /etc/rc1.d/ ln -s /init.d/avr_evtd K20avr_evtd

cd /etc/rc2.d/ ln -s ../init.d/avr_evtd S20avr_evtd

cd /etc/rc3.d/ ln -s ../init.d/avr_evtd K20avr_evtd

cd /etc/rc4.d/ ln -s ../init.d/avr_evtd S20avr_evtd

cd /etc/rc5.d/ ln -s ../init.d/avr_evtd S20avr_evtd

cd /etc/rc6.d/ ln -s ../init.d/avr_evtd K20avr_evtd

Remove kuroevtd
To avoid conflict between 2 applications that have the same goal, you need to remove kuroevtd : rm /etc/init.d/kuroevtd rm /etc/rc?.d/K20kuroevtd /etc/rc?.d/S20kuroevtd rm -r /etc/kuroevtd rm /usr/sbin/kuroevtd
 * remove script file
 * remove start/stop symlinks
 * remove configuration files
 * remove application

Conclusion
Now your power button can be used normaly (yeah !) You can also edit /etc/avr_evtd/EventScript file to assign different actions for a button (sending a message to a network device before shutting down for example, running a backup script when pressing the red button ...) !
