NAME

       xmms2-launcher - XMMS2 daemon launcher

SYNOPSIS

       xmms2-launcher [ -?  / --help ]

       xmms2-launcher [ -l logfile / --logfile= logfile] [ -P pidfile / --pidfile= pidfile] [ --verbose ]

DESCRIPTION

       XMMS2  is  a redesign of the XMMS (http://www.xmms.org) music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple (even simultane-
       ous!) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. On top of this, there is a  flexi-
       ble media library to organise your music.

       xmms2-launcher  starts  xmms2d(1)  in the background. The main feature is that it does not exit until the IPC system of XMMS2 is available,
       meaning that as soon as the xmms2-launcher process has exited successfully xmms2d(1) is ready to accept commands.

       xmms2-launcher includes command line options to change the way in which the daemon is invoked.

	      These options are currently recognised:

       -l logfile / --logfile=logfile
	      Write log file to logfile instead of the default log file location

       - P pidfile / --pidfile=pidfile
	      Write the pid of xmms2d to the file specified by pidfile

       --verbose
	      Increases the vebosity of xmms2-launcher

       -? / --help
	      Show help options

FILES

       $XDG_CACHE_HOME/xmms2/xmms2d.log
	      The default location for a file where the log output of xmms2d(1) is redirected. Usually ~/.cache/xmms2/xmms2d.log.
