# This is a script to set my external monitor's brightness
# to high (70%) or low (40%) automatically according to day/night.
# It uses ddcutil to access the monitor's settings and sunwait to know
# if it's day or night. It expects a file in the following format in
# the .config directory (the values should be according to location)
# ~/.config/latlong.toml
# latitude="0.000000N"
# longitude="0.000000E"
# Add the following to crontab to make it run automatically and properly
# @reboot <location-of-this-script> && <location-of-this-script> crontab
# 0 0,12 * * * <location-of-this-script> crontab
