CMUS at start up

[Mário Dias]

Hi,

I am trying to implement a cmus as a music player in a raspberry pi. It
will not have a monitor neither a mouse or keyboard and i will comunicate
with it through cmus remote. i manage to do the comunication by cmus-remote
but to work i have to launch the cmus in another terminal window and then
run my application on another terminal window.

Can you guys help me how to lunch the cmus on background on OS startup?

Thank you for the support

Best Regards
Mário

You'd launch cmus the same way you'd launch any other text-based
program on startup.

You want to learn about how to get your script to run at boot time,
set up the correct environment, an su to the correct user account.

This is not the mailing list for learning how to do such things.

Once you've got that working, just run:

screen cmus

You're probably running them (cmus and cmus-remote) as different
users, or with a different environment*. You really need to read up
on these things to fiddle with startup scripts.

Yeah you didn't really. The -S option just specifies the screen session
name, so you can later reconnect it using `screen -r cmus` in this case.

On my machine running a simple `screen cmus` just works, but it's not
backgrounded then. Perhaps you can read the screen manual (`man

-d -m Start screen in "detached" mode. This creates a new
session but doesn't attach to it. This is useful for system
startup scripts.
