Ah, sorry, it works now, it's
just that I was executing it in a ZSH env.
It needs to be a bash script. Thanks everyone, I got my transport toggle
now! It's disturbingly hacky, but it works :)

jack_showtime | head -n1 &

STDOUT to /dev/null, IOW all output is invisible. On 11/15/2016 03:19 PM, Yassin Philip wrote:
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? But found no way to detect the transport status ;
Is there a way to
know it?
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
