redshift-awesome

This is a library to interface redshift with awesome.

Usage

To use, add the following to your rc.lua:

local redshift = require("redshift")
redshift.path = "/path/to/redshift/if/non/standard"
redshift.pkill = "/path/to/pkill/if/non/standard"
redshift.init("/home/you/.config/redshift.conf", 1)

You probably don't need to set redshift.path or redshift.pkill, so typically the first and last lines are all that's needed. Change the second argument to redshift.init() to 0 if you don't want it enabled right away.

Add a keybinding to toggle redshift on and off:

awful.key({ modkey, }, "r", redshift.toggle)

API

Firstly, initialise the library by passing the absolute path to your redshift config, and a flag to tell the library whether to start redshift or not (1 = yes, 0 = no):

redshift.init(config, enabled)

To start redshift:

redshift.start()

To stop redshift:

redshift.stop()

To toggle redshift (start if stopped, stop if started; useful for using as a key binding):

redshift.toggle()
