Hi Experts,
I have some important software that I use that is un-aware of the
arts, (Okay, I admit, it's games, sue me... :^) )so to use it with
KDE3, I have a script linked to a desktop Icon to stop the artsd
if it is running, and start it if it is not running. Is there an
official way to stop/start the sound server? Herewith is the
script I use to do the work: (It is very stupid, but it seems to
work)
---Begin---
#!/bin/bash
# This script starts/stops the arts sound daemon...
if [ "`ps -ef | grep artsd | grep -v grep`" == "" ]; then
echo Starting artsd... 2>&1
exec /usr/bin/artswrapper -F 8 -S 1024 -d -s 5 -m artsmessage -l 3 -f &
echo " ...Done" 2>&1
else
echo Stopping artsd... 2>&1
killall artsd
echo " ...Done" 2>&1
fi
---End---
-Chuck
