NAME

xmms2-launcher - XMMS2 daemon launcher

SYNOPSIS

xmms2-launcher [-l file] [-P file] [-v] [--] [XMMS2D_OPTION] ...
xmms2-launcher -h

DESCRIPTION

XMMS2 is a redesign of the XMMS (http://legacy.xmms2.org) music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple (even simultaneous!) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. On top of this, there is a flexible media library to organise your music.

xmms2-launcher starts xmms2d(1) in the background. The main feature is that it does not exit until the IPC system of XMMS2 is available, meaning that as soon as the xmms2-launcher process has exited successfully xmms2d(1) is ready to accept commands.

OPTIONS

Unrecognized options and options occuring beyond pseudo-option -- are passed to xmms2d(1).

-l file, --logfile=file: Write log to file instead of the default log file location.
-P file, --pidfile=file: Write the pid of xmms2d(1) to file.
-v, --verbose: Make xmms2-launcher verbose.
-?, -h, --help: Show short help information and exit.
--: Options beyond this marker are passed to xmms2d(1).
XMMS2D_OPTION: See xmms2d(1) for a list of options and their effect.
