Start applications via remote control I am searching for a way to start multiple, pre-defined applications via apple's remote control. Is this at all possible with Mavericks?

I have a special user account on my iMac that is used for watching films via Plex and DVB-T via EyeTv. While I can close all these applications via remote-control as soon as they are running, I have not found a way to start them.

Is there a third-party app that allows such a functionality? I already tried RemoteBuddy but it was much too complex for my needs.
BetterTouchTool supports remapping Apple's remote controllers and you can run a shell script (like open -a Preview;open -a TextEdit) to open multiple applications.
