Hello folks,
please consider my request below. If not possible so far, please let me
know.
Thanks
My request:
I'm running alsaplayer in daemon mode on several small machines
(raspberries). Sometimes one of the daemons stops, gets into pause mode
or even blocks completely once the network gets slow.
I'm looking for a reliable method to restart such a degraded session,
e.g. by issuing a 'systemctl restart PID'. I t seems, currently there is
no means to detect the PID of the daemon running a particular alsaplayer
session. Yes, it's possible to run the 'fuser' utility to figure out the
creator process of alsaplayer's communication socket, but this is a
fairly clumsy attempt.
For me it seems 2 other approaches are feasible:
1. have libalsaplayer support a request for the daemon PID (a patch of
mine exists for this)
2. have alsaplayer create a PID file when running in daemon mode
For the first option I created a patch for the debian sources. I would
like to forward my patch to the community. However, I'm not skilled in
building debian packets. So, if you are interested in one of the above
extensions, please give me a hint on how to submit my work.
Thanks a lot
Andreas
