Dave Phillips:
Greetings,
I'd like to add some conditional tests to my simple scripts. For
example, I want to query the system to determine whether JACK is already
running. If it is, I'll run an app (e.g. xine or AlsaPlayer) configured
for JACK. If JACK is not running, I'll run the app without it.
So how do I test for JACK in a simple bash shell script ?
Hi,
This seems to work:
if jack_lsp >/dev/null 2>/dev/null ; then
echo "running"
else
echo "not running"
fi
I'm not sure if its the best way though. (what if jack_lsp changes in
a later version?)
