Sure, I'm sorry for the confusion. |

In short, mpdscribble is a daemon that submits the tracks you play |
11 |
(using mpd) to sites such as libre.fm. In that sense it is a client of |
12 |
mpd. It is possible to start mpdscribble by using |
13 |
/etc/init.d/mpdscribble start |

21 |
Yes, that's exactly what I want. If I start mpd using the command |
22 |
/etc/init.d/mpd start |
23 |
|
24 |
I would like mpdscribble to be automatically started. What I have as |
25 |
output instead: |
26 |
$ /etc/init.d/mpd stop && /etc/init.d/mpd start && |
27 |
/etc/init.d/mpdscribble status |
28 |
* Caching service dependencies ... |
29 |
* Service 'syslog-ng' already provides 'logger'!; |
30 |
* Not adding service 'metalog'... |
31 |
[ ok ] |
32 |
* Service mpd stopping |
33 |
* Service mpd stopped |
34 |
* Service mpd starting |
35 |
* Service mpd started |
36 |
* status: stopped |

43 |
That's right, it is a typo in my previous mail. The config file has no typo. |

46 |
openrc is not installed, and the baselayout version is 1.12.13. |
