XMMS2-LAUNCHER(1) General Commands Manual XMMS2-LAUNCHER(1)
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.
