My bad, I don't know from where this star came. The actual command is 
Code:
--------------------
    echo player id ? | nc -w 1 192.168.1.100 9090
--------------------

I'll correct my post above.

You can also telnet, as in 
Code:
--------------------
    (echo "player id  ?"; sleep 1; echo "exit") | telnet server_ip 9090
--------------------
 and curl also has a telnet emulation that would work, too.

But if you're ready and able to use a scripting language beyond the
shell, you can write something nicer/smarter based on JSON. I usually
link to 'a perl script'

I wrote some time ago that checks various clients statuses on players
located on mysqueezebox.com. It works with a local server as well,
perhaps you'll need to hack your way around. (Read a few posts above the
linked one about the various perl libs required, JSON::RPC::Client may
be missing from your platform.)
I also know of 'PyLms' (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pylms), a python
script that could well do the trick, although I never used it.

For the CLI reference manual, look under the Help link on the LMS server
page, then Technical Information, and finally The Squeezebox Server
Command Line Interface.
(http://192.168.1.100:9000/html/docs/cli-api.html should get you there.)
All examples were written before JSON came along, but the JSON version
uses the same syntax, so the refman applies.
