Hi all.

I'm running a copy of Rivendell 2.10.3 and have been using the now & next
feature
successfully by running UDP data to a IP address and a UDP string of %a - %t

Recently I have also wanted to create a .txt file with the same data and
used the
example in the wiki for the RML command line e.g. RN echo %a - %t >
/home/myfm/Music/playing.txt!

This seems to work most of the time. But strangely some song data does not
appear in the playing.txt
file at times but the file is updated and becomes 0kb.
Yet when I check all the settings the prerequisites for the song(s) that
cause this (and there seem to be
a number of them popping up as I watch this unfold) all seem fine. 

I tried moving the song that generates now artist and title data to another
group
that was also set up to send now and next data to the active service but no
joy - still an
empty playing.txt file. I also tried changing the song title label but still
no joy.
Hmm... Any thoughts?

Second question is about how I can include another command in the RML line
along with the one I
am currently using. What I want to do is get Rivendell to create a semaphore
file like newsong.txt
by doing something like RN touch /home/myfm/Music/newsong.txt!

How can I run things so that both RN echo %a - %t >
/home/myfm/Music/playing.txt!  and
RN touch /home/myfm/Music/newsong.txt! are executed each time a song is
played?

Is the last command line the best way to create such a semaphore?

Thanks for your help.

Best, Paul.
