line, no 'q'

It's very simple. All you need is Python (and who
doesn't have that on
their machine). You put the script in your PATH, or link it/rename it,
making sure it's exectuable. When you run it, you'll see a list of current
numbered jack ports, and you can connect them by typing two numbers
separated by a space. You can disconnect them by typing 'd' then the two
numbers separated by a space. No hassles, and a nice feature is that it
will protect you from making ear-blasting feedback connections. It's even
quicker than qjackctl, b/c it takes more time to point your mouse at the
ports in the GUI and then click 'connect' than it does to type two
single-digit numbers and then hit return, yes?
Sounds a bit similar to what I am writing locally.
Only my version is different :-)
I have a control-server and graphical clients. And they communicate via OSC so
they can be on different machines. I should do an early preview-release
sometime soon.
And I am using pyjack, so I don't have to run external apps. Maybe that is
something for your project too? It will save on cpu-cycles...
Have fun,
Arnold
