SOLVED run app with recalbox

[DJMatrix-HU3]

can I initialize a debian application with recalbox?

I want to create a counter
to find out how many times the player presses select button
I created a debian application that does this for me.

if not possible
is there a way to create a script that does this function?

example

if Key = Button_Select
{
ini.LoadFile ("counter.ini");
ini.GetValue ("counter", "pulses", NULL);
ini.SetValue ("counter", "pulses", "NULL + 1");
}

File counter.ini

[COUNTER]
Pulses=12

Yes, I'm aware
I am not using for profit, but for statistical purposes and study..

I made a python script that sends the numbers to my IOS app
I could post the script, but some people may use it for illegal purposes
