so, write a script like this, call it "runmpg123":
--------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
while 1
do
mpg123 http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3
echo "Restarting mpg123" >> runmpg123.log
done
--------------------------------------------------------
mark it executable:
chmod +x runmpg123
then run it:
nohup runmpg123
and logout. The nohup will do the same as disown. Use disown if you have started a process and
want to insulate it against a nohup from the shell. Use nohup if you know you want to insulate
the process from nohups when you start it.
If you want to get real fancy, you could replace the line:
echo "Restarting mpg123" >> runmpg123.log
with:
echo "display mpg123 stopped 120" | nc -w1 localhost 9001
which would display the fact that mpg123 had been restarted on the slimp display.
**Note: you will need netcat for the 'nc' command to work.
