Are you using avlinux, or the other professional audio Linux distribution?
This is not about commands, but about which of these professional
packages
will produce a command line structure with greatest ease.
Once installed that is. I have no Linux box or no functional one at all as
of yet.

Two situations that members have asked about, referenced are bringing
up a couple of questions for me.
of the popular Linux distributions specifically developed for the
professional audio community, which is more likely to allow for command
line access?
From the login window control alt F1 to F6 will bring up a terminal screen.
All will also have the Xterm or something like it often with a keyboard
shortcut to make it open. Rather than using mutiple VTs, I would suggest
using dbus_launch to start a text based session manager such as screen and
use that to switch from one terminal to another. That way jackdbus enabled
commands can connect from one terminal to the next. I use screen for my login
to my server where I can switch between this mail client (alpine) and irssi
for IRC as well as a terminal for server maintenance (from within my LAN).
My second question is tied to latency. I
believe this issue came up when
I first asked about outfitting a computer for Linux audio work.
One person here tells me that there here are low latency kernel tools that
address the problem. the question is going to be if those tools work with
older distributions, squeeze for example, because more up to date Kernels
do not always support hardware synthesizers.
Any kernel 2.6 and up can be made RT, from the early 3.* kernels there have
been "lowlatency" versions that can work very well with no patching.
so, I have a choice. build Linux audio setup
with zero chance to use the
box directly, seems most likely right now, and does not bother me very
much since the screen readers are rather dreadful, or build a setup with a
slight door open on that use the machine directly front. I already know
ssh telnet is
It is fully possible to start a session and using CTL/ALT/F1 get a terminal
and either just log in or ssh user@localhost from the same machine. So far
nobody has dropped VTs that I know of.
