I think I'd recommend moving them to /dev/blackhole instead. :)

It's working! I went back and removed the logging from the crossover_3chan
command (since it served its purpose), moved the order of the commands a
little, and now it works. Thanks for the help!!

Hi,
I'm getting my Pianoteq app to run automatically when I start my computer.
So far, I'm using the startup script in QjackCtl to run the commands I
need. I have QjackCtl configured to startup automatically. It's starting
up and running the commands OK; I see the programs come up when I boot the
computer. But one thing is not working: a shell script named
crossover_3chan, that invokes the ecasound application, which I'm using for
a 3 channel speaker crossover network. This crossover_3chan script works
fine when I run it manually, but for some reason, running it within the
QjactCtl startup script is not working. When I execute ps -aux and look at
the processes, it's not there, until I run it manually. Here is the
QjactCtl startup script I'm using:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 2
/usr/bin/a2jmidid -e &
sleep 2
/usr/bin/aloop-daemon &
sleep 2
export LADSPA_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ladspa:/usr/lib/ladspa
sleep 2
hdspmixer &
sleep 2
"/home/gibbyj/Pianoteq/Pianoteq 5/i386/Pianoteq 5" &
sleep 4
crossover_3chan &
I've tried various ways of invoking the crossover_3chan shell script.
Currently, I have put the script into /usr/local/bin, which is why there's
no path in front of the name, above. But I also tried something like
"/home/gibbyj/Downloads/crossover_3chan" & in the startup script, which
didn't work either.
Would it help if I make this shell script an "application", giving it a
name, like Pianoteq and the other applications? I've tried to figure out
how to do that, in AVL/Debian, but am still not sure how.
Thanks very much for someone's help!

Wait, I thought IoTs trapped stray IoTtabits - those little electronic creatures that glitches feed on?

Shouldn't that be Pointer Oriented OPerating System?

Well, I think a cigar would make an interesting musical instrument/user interface. Especially if it was filled with magical, mystical herbs. ;)
