Barcode scanning to run gcode

Hi guys, I'm looking for any info to open Gcode by a barcode scanner to avoid mistakes loading in Axis the wrong program to machine and reduce the setup times. It seems there is not any post about the way to go about this.
I'm sure Ubuntu can interfaces with the barcode scanner but I have not idea how automate the loading process. Any help will be appreciate.

The axis-remote script can load a file.

What is the mach link for?

The mach link is a demo of a barcode plugin in Mach3

Right now I have even more doubts:
-Where I could download the axis-remote script for linuxcnc 2.7.4?
I found the axis-remote (-R) extend script by ArcEye, but it is for the 2.6.3 version.
Thank you

UPDATE:
Ok guys, I managed to open the Gcode in Axis by the command axis-remote path/gcode.ngc in the terminal. Now I should just start it in a unique action with the help of the barcode scanner.
I want to point the scanner, load and run the gcode in one action.
Any idea?

I'm guessing by now you figured out axis-remote is part of LinuxCNC... you could use a bash script to capture the scanned data and run axis-remote. Also from a terminal if you do axis-remote --help. You might also use a Python script to run axis-remote.

I have done this using Linuxcnc, don't know about Mach.
Basically, to open the gcode file, create a barcode from the gcode filename and put a lowercase o in front of it.
ex: otest.ngc

Ok now I understood how to open the gcode file with axis remote script, but what I still don't get is how to run it right away.
beltramidave: can you explain yourself better? step by step so we can understand, what programs did you use..

..JT, another thing I noticed is that I should not have spaces in the name of the gcode file to open it by the python script.

What does the "o" do?
