This basic method is what I ended up doing. At first I didn't realize I could set up non-Rivendell Jack connections in rd.conf. So, as long as Jack is started first and RDAirplay (or other RD module) is started second...the connections will be made per the [Jack Session] section of rd.conf. I also put lines in the script to load a log and start playing it. Good stuff! I wish I figured this out sooner.

Thanks for the hints! :)

Hi,
a very simple and rude way is this. Create a simple .sh script file
located in your home directory which launches all the sw you need.
Example:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/jackd --realtime --nozombies -d dummy -r 44100
2>/tmp/startup-jack.log &
sleep 6
/usr/bin/rdairplay 2>/tmp/startup-rd.log &
sleep 3
/opt/stereo_tool_gui 2>/tmp/startup-st.log &
...

...important thing is rivendell user must be the same of jack (and
stereotool too I think)

Hello,
Trying to set up an all-in-one streaming computer with Rivendell, Jack Audio
and Stereo Tool (and a soon-to-be-decided encoder). I can set it all up
manually and it works great! BUT...Ideally I'd like everything to start up
at once when the computer starts, as in the case of a power outage. In
RDAdmin under Jack Settings, I've checked "Start JACK Server" and put in the
command line I would use. I also entered the info for Stereo Tool in the
"JACK Clients to Start" list. When I start any Rivendell module, Stereo Tool
will start, but Jack will NOT start. As long as no Rivendell modules are
running I can use the command line to start Jack or by using QJackCtl, so I
don't think there's a problem with that. Setting up Startup Applications is
no good either, as the relevant apps don't necessarily start in the correct
order.

Any pointers from those who have done this before? Running Rivendell 2.8.1
on Debian 7.

Thanks!
Dave
