Hi there.
The distro I'm using installs a script with jack that lets it run as a
daemon.
I'm wondering whether this makes any sense at all, whether there is a
use case for this that isn't covered by anything else.
I'd like to hear you opinion.
http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/jack/repos/testing-x86_64/?opt=dir
jack.conf is the config file in /etc/
jack.install is run when jack is installed/upgraded/removed
rc.jack is the daemon script itself
So what do you think?
Regards,
Philipp

I know that I personally do not consider this an appropriate way to
run JACK, and I am irritated by distributions that do this. That
doesn't mean I'm right.

if the system is headless, same thing but just via init and a user login script
or something like that.

The only thing these would do is spare the user
the effort to launch jackd. But that is not the
point at all.
Use cases:
- More than one user on the same system, each one
using part of the available HW/channels. Not likely
if you have just a stereo audio interface, but quite
a normal thing if you have 64 channels connected to
different parts of a installation.
- Changing users without interrupting operation,
as e.g. in broadcasting, or when part of the audio
processing is fixed and not dependent on the user.
Ciao,

all sound entirely justifiable to me. but this is about promiscuous
mode, not whether JACK is started by init, surely?

i don't see that at all. how does starting it as a system service
(i.e. started by init) change the story?

The primary feature request in this case would be:
"Allow mulitple users to start/run/access jackd, and allow multiple
client connections from these users."
And if that works, naturally an init script will work too. Or rather,
an init script will only work if the above is implemented.
Anyway, as far as the thread subject is concerned, the init scripts
have been removed from the package until the feature is supported
upstream: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15102
