NAME

       mpdcron - cron like daemon for mpd

SYNOPSIS

       mpdcron [option]

DESCRIPTION

       mpdcron is a cron like daemon for mpd.  It connects to mpd, waits for idle events.  It has two interfaces:

       o Hooks	which  are executed after setting environment variables which hooks can use to get more information about the event without having
	 to connect to mpd.

       o Modules, which are dynamically loaded and have direct access to mpd connection and the file descriptor of mpdcron's configuration file.

       By default it will get the host name and port for mpd from MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT environment variables.	MPD_PASSWORD environment  variable
       can  be	set to make mpdcron connect to a password-protected mpd.  If these environment variables aren't set, mpdcron connects to localhost
       on port 6600.
