CD man 1.0
As you could guess this is yet another programs that makes cdrom play. Features :
- no user interface (at all)
- jokey mode (starts playing cd on insertion )
- small size - ~ 12K (i have 8mb ram.. and I want to have X :) )
How to use :
- Compile it by typing make. You may want to take a look at Makefile
- Syntax : cdman command Here command can be anything of the following :
cdman p pause
cdman r resume
cdman e eject
cdman g starttrack endtrack start playing
cdman g 1 1000 play all tracks
(ever seen CD with more then
1000 tracks ? - I didn't )
cdman j start in jokey mode
in this mode cdman will
check the drive every 15 seconds
if disk is playing or was paused
it does nothing. Otherwise
it attempts to start playing.
How I use it :
I put the following line in /etc/rc.d/rc.cdrom :
/usr/local/bin/cdman j >& /dev/null &
I edited my twmrc file to include the following :
menu "CD"
{
"Go" f.exec "/usr/local/bin/cdman g 1 1000 &" "Pause" f.exec "/usr/local/bin/cdman p &" "Resume" f.exec "/usr/local/bin/cdman r &" "Eject" f.exec "/usr/local/bin/cdman e &"
}
and certainly an entry
"CD" f.menu "CD"
in one of other menus..
It works now ;)
Acknowledgements :
Most of source code was taken from xworkbone (why did they name it like this ? ) specifically hardware.c (modified) and misc.c (just a couple of functions) You can still see lot's of junk from xworkbone (variables, functions..)
enjoy !
