But found no way to detect the transport status ; Is there a way to know

I use this very hacky script that I bind to my Play media key (I use
openbox for this):

---
#!/bin/bash

function jack_transport_status() {
  jack_showtime | head -n1 & &> /dev/null
}

if jack_transport_status | grep -q -i stopped
then
  echo play | jack_transport &> /dev/null
  killall jack_showtime
else
  echo stop | jack_transport &> /dev/null
  killall jack_showtime
fi
---

I can't get it to work, somehow it chokes at the showtime cmd, that refuses to give back the prompt..? I mean, just exec jack_transport_status in the shell should return, right?
