# 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"
# scriptdir=<location-of-this-script>
# high=70
# low=40
# Just run this script one manually to set it up to run perpetually (hopefully) using 'at'
# (Some distros don't come with 'at' preinstalled, so you might need to install 'at' and enable the 'atd' service.)
# It might also be a good idea to add '<location-of-this-script> scheduler' to your DE's autostart list, or to '.profile' so that it launches on system login
# (Sometimes I forget to turn on the monitor when I start my PC, so this is better than having a crontab)
