Public bug reported: The manual states that the -x option causes jack to run a "predefined command" when it finishes, but it is not stated how this command is defined or where and how it can be set.
Running "jack -x eject" causes an error message to be displayed. Running "jack -x=exec_rip_done" does nothing after finishing. From reading the sources, it appears in /usr/share/pyshared/jack_main_loop.py that the value of the configuration variable exec_rip_done is passed to os.system() when -x is present. Thus, in my case, simply "jack -x" did do what I want, and what it does can be changed by setting exec_rip_done in your ~/.jack3rc. ** Affects: jack (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961019 Title: jack -x option not understandable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jack/+bug/961019/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
