NAME

       cdde - Compact Disc Detect & Execute

SYNOPSIS

       cdde [-c filename] [-rbvVh]

DESCRIPTION

       cdde is a program that detects when a cdrom drive on your system has had a disc inserted.

       When it finds a disc inserted in the drive it will attempt to determine the type of the disc, and execute a specified command.

       This  means  you  can  put in a dvd and your favorite dvd software will start, or put in a data cd and it will be automatically mounted for
       you.

       Right now cdde can detect the following types of discs:
	       * audio cd
	       * data cd
	       * dvd
	       * mixed audio/data cd
	       * vcd
	       * svcd
	       * blank cdr/dvdr

       For now the dvd checking is just a bit of magic that checks to see if there's a "video_ts" directory on the disc. Same  goes  for  the  vcd
       checking: it just looks for a "vcd" directory on the disc.

       cdde reads its configuration from "~/.cdde.xml" unless otherwise specified on the command line.

OPTIONS

       -r, --run
	      Run commands on disc already in drive when is started.

       -b, --batch
	      Batch mode: check all drives once then exit. (implies -r)

       -c, --config <filename>
	      Use the config file <filename>. (Default is ~/.cdde.xml)

       -v, --verbose
	      Print out lots of information.

       -V, --version
	      Print out version information.

       -h, --help
	      Print Display this help and exit.

NAME

       cdde.xml - Configuration file for cdde

DESCRIPTION

       When cdde is run for the first time, an example xml configuration file (~/.cdde.xml) is created for you:

       <?xml version="1.0"?>
       <cdde delay="5000000">
	 <drive path="/dev/cdrom">
	   <audio command="echo An audio cd was inserted."/>
	   <data command="echo A data cd was inserted."/>
	   <dvd command="echo A dvd was inserted."/>
	   <vcd command="echo A vcd was inserted."/>
	   <svcd command="echo A svcd was inserted."/>
	   <blank command="echo A blank cdr/dvdr was inserted."/>
	   <mixed command="echo A mixed (audio/data) cd was inserted."/>
	 </drive>
       </cdde>

       This  default  file is not very useful, and so I suggest you to edit it to your needs before running cdde again.  You may add as many drive
       entries, or commands as you like.  If multiple entries are found for a type of disc then all entries will be run  in  the  order  they  are
       found.

       The specific device in use can be passed to the command with one of the following special tags:

	 %dev%	-  is replaced with the device name of the cdrom that
		   just had a disc inserted

	 %mnt%	-  is replaced with the listed mount point for the
		   cdrom that just had a disc inserted

       Note:	%mnt%  is determined through your fstab (usually located in /etc) file. If you do not have a listing for each <drive> in the fstab
       this will cause problems.

       This way, you can tell your video player which device to use when playing a VCD, for example.

EXAMPLE

       This is an example of ~/.cdde.xml file:

       <?xml version="1.0"?>
       <cdde delay="5000000">
	 <drive path="/dev/cdroms/cdrom0"/>
	   <audio command="xmms %mnt%"/>
	   <data command="mount %mnt%"/>
	   <dvd
	    command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -dvd 1"/>
	   <vcd
	    command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -vcd 1"/>
	   <svcd
	    command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -vcd 1"/>
	   <blank command="gcombust"/>
	   <mixed command="mount %mnt%"/>
	 </drive>
       </cdde>
