Activate or deactivate programs based on bluetooth link quality

]  [--no-fork ]  [-v |--verbose ]   [-d  ]   [--disconnect-hack  ]  

 [-q  |--link-quality rssi]  [-h |--help ]  [-V |--version ]

Monitors the quality of the link to a bluetooth device and emits dbus signals when it drops below a given threshold or disconnects. Used with bluemon-client to perform actions like locking the terminal when you walk away.

`-i ms --interval`	check interval
`-a --authenticate`
`-t rssi --threshold`	link quality threshold, out of 255
`-b MAC - -btid`	ID (e.g. `AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF`). may be specified multiple times
`-s --stdout --no-syslog`	Log to stdout rather than syslog
`-n --no-fork`	Do not become a daemon
`-d --disconnect-hack`	adds a delay into noticing device abscence upon disconnect.
`-v --verbose`	Enable verbose output
`-q --link-quality`	Check for link quality to device. Default only checks for presence of connection.
`-h`
`-V --version`

bluemon-query

Query the state of and send commands to bluemon

bluemon-query [ address]

sends queries to the bluemon

With no arguments queres for the first connected device. Giving the parameter of a blue- tooth ID will query for that ID.
Outputs the ID and signal strength if connected.

bluemon-client

Activate or deactivate programs based on bluetooth link quality

bluemon-client   [-b  AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF]   [--btid
       AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF]  

               [-u   command    | --upcmd   command
 | -d  command |   --downcmd  command]   

               [-v | --verbose ]  [-p | --protect ]  [-h | v--help ]  [-V   | --version ]

Listens for events from the bluemon daemon and can start or stop programs when the given device is comes up or goes down.

`-b --btid mm:mm:`	bluetooth ID to monitor (e.g. AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF)
`-u --upcmd cmd`	command run when the device is connected.
`-d --downcmd cmd`	command run when the device is disconnected.
`-p --protect`	Try and protect against spoofing on the DBUS. Requires signals to come from a process owned by the root user.
`-v --verbose`	Enable verbose output
`-h --help`	Show summary of options.
`-V --version`	Print version
