I created a couple of scripts to easily change the LCD and Keyboard brightness from the command line. They unfortunately need to be run as root, but with the rootnexus image, we can do some modifications to get it working as a regular user.

Gain root access from the command line:
op shell

Change directory:
cd /usr/bin

Then download the scripts:
wget http://www.mozzwald.com/sites/default/files/lcd
wget http://www.mozzwald.com/sites/default/files/keys

Make them executable:
chmod +x keys lcd

Now we need to edit the "op" config file and allow it to run as normal user:
nano /etc/op/op.conf

Add the following to the end of the file:

lcd /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/lcd $1";
users=PRIVILEGED
environment
#
keys /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/keys $1";
users=PRIVILEGED
environment


Press CTRL-X to save the file and quit nano. Type "exit" to quit root access. Now try it out like this:
op lcd high
op keys med

The scripts accept max, high, med, low, or a number from 1-255. You can edit the scripts to change max, high, med, and low to your preferred setting.
