Normally Squeezelite keeps the device open while it is running.
Have you tried the "-C " option which closes the output device
after a timeout when not playing. It will be reopened if squeezelite
gets a request to play,

Another thing to watch with winSCP is it can transfer files in text and

If you name your log files in the form "pcp_blahblah.log" and put them

We don't use the bash shell in pCP, everything we do is basic sh (or
ash). pCP uses #!/bin/sh. There are 2 or 3 variants used in piCore
scripts but lets not confuse the issue.
