The command gives no output to standard or error outputs, and I can see nothing in the system logs. Running this same command from an xconsole returns the currently playing song's name, using the current song name format as shown in the playlist and player. I used to use XMMS, which handled this exact case perfectly.

Ah. And of course, since that's not directly part of the audtool program, you aren't going to mention it in the man page, either?

audacious 2.4-alpha1 is affected too. Can you report the bug upstream at http://jira.atheme.org? ** Changed in: audacious (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Triaged -- audtool not working from crontab or console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286791 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 286791] Re: audtool not working from crontab or console
I've actually given up on Audacious some time ago due to the crippling bugs I reported that weren't being looked at, and have switched to Rhythmbox. I don't have much care factor left for Audacious. The whole Beep media player thing seems to have taken all the glitz from Winamp, and lost the best functionality from XMMS. -- audtool not working from crontab or console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286791 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test Audacious 2.3 from the latest stable Ubuntu version (10.04) or the current Ubuntu development version (10.10). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect #286791, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
