That option appears to loop here too.
You can put a file on your file system that has a name of:
10.13.14.15 with the hostname in the file and then do this:
export HNAME=`hostname`
hostname `cat /path/$HNAME`
export HNAME=`hostname`
You could avoid using the -F option similar to this:
ln -s /video/tv/${HNAME}.cfg /etc/browser.config
and then run mvpmc without the -F option and it will use the default
file that is symbolically linked to the default name.
I am also not sure if you can run 2 copies of the mvpmc, I am not sure
if the second copy will pass arguments to the first one or if it will
run by itself, if it runs by itself the resources on the machine are
pretty tight, and bad things will probably happen, and that may be the
reason for the loop. Mine appears to loop without any options also,
and originally it did not loop without any options, So resources could
be the reason. And also there is only one display/audio setup to manage
so the second one won't be able to do anything.
I would put all of the options on one mvpmc line.
