Hi all,

I'm running Fedora. I am able to use timidity with my midi editor using -iA

However I want timidity to run as a service upon boot, so I made an 
init.d script:

> #!/bin/bash
> #
> # chkconfig: 35 56 56
> # description: Start Folding At Home execution
>
> check_running() {
>     COUNT=`ps -ef|grep timidity|grep -v grep|wc -l`
>     if [ $COUNT = 1 ]
>     then
>         RUN=1
>     else
>         RUN=0
>     fi
> }
>
> case "$1" in
>     start)
>         check_running
>             if [ $RUN = 1 ]
>             then
>                 echo "Timidity seems to be running already"
>                 exit
>             else
>                 /usr/bin/timidity -iA 2>&1 &
>                 exit
>             fi
>         ;;
>
>     stop)
>         check_running
>             if [ $RUN = 1 ]
>             then
>                 killall timidity
>                 exit
>             else
>                 echo "Timidity does not seem to be running"
>                 exit
>             fi
>         ;;
>
>     status)
>         check_running
>             if [ $RUN = 1 ]
>             then
>                 echo "Timidity is running"
>                 exit
>             else
>                 echo "Timidity does not seem to be running"
>                 exit
>             fi
>         ;;
> esac

However, this script gives an error:

[jonat...@poseidon ~]$ sudo service timidity start
[jonat...@poseidon ~]$ file mcoputils.cc: line 499 (static std::string 
Arts::MCOPUtils::mcopDirectory()): assertion failed: (home != 0)
HOME environment variable not set?
jack_client_new: deprecated
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server socket
jack server is not running or cannot be started
no message buffer overruns
Couldn't open output device


I tested that I can successfully run timidity using sudo:

[jonat...@poseidon ~]$ sudo timidity -iA
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 128:0 128:1 128:2 128:3

Does anyone have any ideas what might be up?

Cheers,
Jonathan
