Re: Ecasound-list Digest, Vol 105, Issue 2

I have called ecasound from scripts and I also had to set the term variable
to something for it to work properly. It helps to turn on the -ddd (high
verbosity debug info) output to see what is going on when there are problems
by the way. Once I saw that TERM was unset and causing a problem for
ecasound, I checked to see what it was when I was in a terminal on the
computer, and TERM was xterm-256. After I set TERM=xterm in my script
everything worked. I also found that in some cases when I was feeding long
lines into ecasound I had to also set COLUMNS to a number that was larger
than the longest line in the ecasound command string. Otherwise I got some
errors when the line length was more than the default line length(e.g. 80
characters).

I think this has to do with what I ran into recently. I was trying to run
ecasound from a tcl/tk script by clicking an icon on my desktop and it
wouldn't work (I think ecasound would exit immediately). But when I ran the
tcl/tk script from a shell, it ran fine.

I had to set the TERM variable. I did a lot of googling to find out how to
set it correctly, but didn't get any specific details so I just set TERM to
'linux' (without the quotes) and hope that will suffice when running my
program from system to system. It works fine on my system.

If this works, and you find more info on how to properly set TERM, let me
know

Hope this helped,
Rocco

Thank you Rocco, your advice helped. I set TERM variable to xterm and it
started to work from cron, so final commad looks:
TERM=xterm /usr/bin/ecasound -B:rtlowlatency -b:256 -f:s32_le,2,48000
-i:alsahw,1,0 -o:alsa &
