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!!

Some progress, but it's not working yet. I added
the log file as
suggested, and it said something about TERM variable not being set. I
Googled that, and added a command like "export TERM xterm" to the QjactCtl
startup script. That worked, and now:
1. the log file shows the normal output I should see when running
crossover_3chan,
2. ps -aux shows the ecasound process running, under user name gibbyj,
3. I see what looks like a minimized Jack symbol on the far bottom right
of my screen, which I don't think I saw before (I did check the box in
QjactCtl to run it minimized. Now I kinda wished I had not checked that
box),
4. It is not quite working yet; I don't see the output I should see on
hdspmixer, when I hit a note in Pianoteq, and
5. Strangely, I can't get QjackCtl to come out of minimized state anymore.
Clicking on its icon does nothing. The last command in the startup_utils
script (/home...crossover_3chan) is now getting done; maybe it is causing
Qjackctl to hang. I see /usr/bin/qjackctl as process #3364 in ps -aux.

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 &
you might try:
. crossover_3chan
Assuming the script does not block.... and maybe even if it does.
I am assuming that these scripts of yours are chmod +x already.
