scanbd looks to be the continuation of scanbuttond, it accomplishes the same tasks, but supports all scanners from scanbuttond plus all the scanners supported by SANE. It uses dbus for communication and can also signal device insertion and removal. Upstream has moved to gitlab, so this is the last corresponding release based on the last SourceForge release (with some minor documentation updates).

scanbd is daemon that listens for scanner button presses and can run scripts.
|

|
|
From the project page:
|
|
|
|
scanbd is a scanner button daemon. It polls the scanner buttons
|
|
looking for buttons pressed or function knob changes or other scanner
|
|
events as paper inserts / removals and at the same time allows also
|
|
scan-applications to access the scanners. If buttons are pressed,
|
|
etc., various actions can be submitted (scan, copy, email, ...) via
|
|
action scripts. The function knob values are passed to the
|
|
action-scripts as well. Scan actions are also signaled via dbus. This
|
|
can be useful for foreign applications. Scans can also be triggered
|
|
via dbus from foreign applications. On platforms which support
|
|
signaling of dynamic device insertion / removal (libudev, dbus, hal)
|
|
scanbd supports this as well. scanbd can use all sane-backends or some
|
|
special backends from the (old) scanbuttond project. Supported
|
|
platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
