Hi all - this must be simple but I can't find the answer.

I want to have my computer check the status of the server
via a bash script in cron

For example, I want to query whether the player is playing or stopped
(then, say, if it's stopped and it's after midnight, have the sound
system turn off and other automated functions like that).

Is there a way to do that sort of thing?

More detail: I'm thinking of  a script like this:

#!/bin/bash
check: is radio playing something?
If yes, leave it be
fi
If no, turn off attached amplifier etc.
fi

which I can put in cron ...

I know how to do everything except query the squeezebox server
