but how is it possible to interact with pd without the gui or some kind of midi device? is it possible to send messages to pd from the command line (maybe via netsend/recieve or osc)
interesting question, I don't know actually
but you can use some keys of the ascii keyboard for "play", "stop", "rec", etc, and print messages in the shell if you need to (simply with the [print] object)
that was my first thought, but if you press a key on the console, it's not grabbed by pd ... i actually don't know why, but it's possible, that pd's keyboard access is through the gui ...
cheers...

If you're on Linux you can use Hans' linuxevent objects which read globally.

[linuxevent] supports any device that the Linux event system does. The Linux event mostly supports USB devices, so AFAIK PS/2 mice don't work, for example. So maybe only USB keyboards work with this, but I'd like to be wrong about this.
You might need to load a kernel module like evdev, or usbkeyb or something like that.

I could readout my PS/2 mouse as well as my PS/2 keyboard with your externals when trying to find where my Jogshuttle-wheel is connected which was /dev/input/event3, so I first tried the other devs.

Last I tried I couldn't get this working, but it was at least 6 months ago. What kernel version are you using? Do you happen to know any of the details about getting the PS/2 mouse working in the event system?
