Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night.

Title pretty much already summarized it all:

I want a script to automatically set the screen to max-dimness+redness on wakeup if it's dark out, and the only tricky bit is "is it dark out?"

But I figure redshift has already implemented a solution to that, so can I just get redshift to tell me?

(Is it maybe already an option? Nothing immediately jumped out at me from the manpage, but I only skimmed it so far.)

Thanks!

I actually did something similar: https://github.com/yannickperrenet/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/redshift/hooks/colorscheme.sh

(Make sure also that AppArmor isn't preventing the use of the .config/redshift/hooks directory, see #850.)
