Make Jack start when Cadence starts

[3x5]

Hi, I'm actually running Ubuntu with a lowlatency kernel, but I have the KXStudio repos enabled.

Anyway, I would like Jack to start when Cadence starts. I see an option to start Jack on Login, but I don't want it to start when I log in -- only when I start Cadence.

The only reason I start Cadence is to start Jack, so it would be nice to just run one action.

Does Ubuntu allow you to run programs from keyboard shortcuts? You can run this script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
jack_control status && jack_control stop || jack_control start;
_state = $(jack_control status);
_state = $(echo $_state | cut -d" " -f3);
if $_state == "started"
	cadence-aloop-daemon &
	sleep 2
fi
if $_state == "stopped"
	echo "do nothing"
fi
_state = "jack $_state";
osdctl -s "$_state";

Remove the last line if you don't have osdctl installed.

I didn't test the code. I ported it from fish to bash-like without thinking much about it.

Thanks for the reply. I'm happy just running

Code: Select all

jack_control start & cadence

. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
