Details: I am trying to run startx with irexec which gets run from local.start
and I want to be able to get to mplayer's output so I can see where and why it
stopped when what it is playing is hosed.
Here is how I am currently doing it:
/etc/conf.d/local.start:
su - carl -c '/usr/bin/screen -d -m /usr/bin/irexec'
/home/carl/.lircrc:
begin irexec
begin
remote = CREATIVE_INFRA_DVD
button = play
prog=irexec
config=PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/bin startx -e
/usr/local/bin/mplayer /mnt/auto/cdrom/*
end
startx displays it's stuff to the screen session. mplayer opens 2 X windows: 1
for the movie, one for it's console output. When mplayer stops the console
window closes. While it is playing, the console keyboard controls mplayer (the
one hooked to the box running mplayer.)
I would like the console output to go to a screen session. That way I can
connect from my laptop that is near the couch and see what is going on, and give
it keyboard commands.
