A simple question, related to building up a bash script to start multiple apps in sequence.
When using the --exec-after-init command to start cat, with an lscp file, everything goes ok. However, I can't seem to have linuxsampler start first, then run the cat command from the next line entry.
Here's the script entry that works:
linuxsampler --exec-after-init "cat /home/alex/Documents/lscp-files/VPO-1-ks.lscp | netcat localhost 8888" &
I'm trying to separate linuxsampler from the cat command and file load, and this doesn't work:
linuxsampler &
cat /home/alex/Documents/lscp-files/VPO-1-ks.lscp | netcat localhost 8888
The lscp file doesn't load at all, even if I put the exec command before cat, or i wrap the entire cat line/lscp/netcat in quotation marks.
Why am I doing this? If something doesn't work, I can''t just stop linuxsampler with a kill command from the terminal.
If i don't load the lscp cat line with --exec-after-init, I can.
Any clues?
EDIT: Solved.
