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.
It is desirable that when Redshift starts it prints to stdout where it is getting location information from. The lat:lon value can come from the command line, a configuration file or from the Geo "thing". There is no documentation of the search order or priority if these things are found. There is no output that says what has been chosen and what temperature values will be used.
The Geo location tool seems unreliable.
My first assumption was that Redshift was a daemon and not a simple program that has to be left running. When placed in my Linux start up applications nothing happens (?) If I create a shell script which calls Redshift things seem to work.
