I need to make a script

[ImageJPEG]

I need some help to make a script that controls the backlight on my keyboard for my MacBook Pro.

/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness

That is where the file is located to change the brightness. I've tested it out using numbers between 0 and 255 and it works. I've never been able to get pommed to work but this does.

Would there be a way to make a script file to change the value in this file without being logged in as root? And I'd like to link it with the two key that would associate with keyboard backlighting.

Does the Mac have any sort of ACPI? If so, that's the way to go. Check in /etc/acpi and
see what scripts are available and which keys/events are trapped. Otherwise, I don't know.
