so many years later, finally implemented a hardware button monitor for sailfish!

functionality is similar to n9-button-monitor.

you can use sf-button-monitor to run arbitrary commands while the phone is locked, or unlocked.

tested and working on Xperia X and Xperia X Compact, YMMV

NOTE: core functionality provided by simply reading from:
dependencies:
perl
dbus-send (for all CONDITIONS, and for all ACTIONS except cmd(SHELL_CMD))

the following unrelated hacks make this script more useful:
-dont unlock the screen when pressing volume/camera
-dont control media volume when screen is locked
-write window title to a file so window() condition can tell which program is running
