XMMS2-LAUNCHER(1)

NAME

xmms2-launcher - XMMS2 daemon launcher

SYNOPSIS

xmms2-launcher [ -?  / --help ]

xmms2-launcher [ -l logfile / --logfile= logfile] [ -P pidfile / --pid-
file= 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 simultaneous!) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. On top of this, there is a flexible 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.
