PPI

[Steve Olisar]

Would it be possible to write a program that uses the parallel port to
listen on the status pins in real time, when the status of a pin changes the
program would read a config file and start/stop processes based on what is
in the config file?  ex:  if status is either 0 or 1, the status of pin one
changes from 0 to 1 the program would kill a process, start a process or
both.  Possible?  I know nothing about PPI or programming so I am willing to
pay someone to write this.  It doesn¹t have to be pretty, just run
daemonized and do the job.
