I think best way to tell something is use shell. This is some python
application to fade screen black and light again. This is not screen
saver, there is no input reading etc. This is only my way to say how
shell -> python (or if you can write in file with java, then shell ->
java)

Should this be in wiki? And what is the right page?


#!/usr/bin/python
"""Dims backlight (and lights its again)

Usage: python dim.py
"""
import sys
import time

def dim():
    global brig
    brig = open("/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/backlight/pcf50633-bl/brightness",
"w", 1)
    duration = 0.200

    for i in range(7):
       brig.write(str((6-i)*10) + "\n")
       time.sleep(duration)

    time.sleep(duration*5)

    for i in range(7):
       brig.write(str(i*10) + "\n")
       time.sleep(duration)


    brig.write(str(63) + "\n")
    brig.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    dim()
