[LAU] Re: monitoring jack connections

I'm currently doing a variant of that - using a bash script instead of watch. I append the source port name, and pipe the result through 'wc -l'. There are actually five source ports, so if all is well I get a value of 10 returned. Anything less suggests one or more of the connections has failed. Just installed it on the organ this morning, and it looks to be working OK. Currently it attempts to reconnect all five connections, I may refine it to check the individual connections. If only one has dropped out the reconnect script get several error messages to say it can't reconnect as it is already connected! I'm toying with using the jack_set_graph_order_callback to get an explicit trigger to do the reconnect. That way I don't need to poll using jack_lsp every 10 seconds. Needs a bit more experimenting to build the code to do this. Thanks also to Kjetil Matheussen who suggested this!
