hello friends ,
presently i am using ubuntu6.06.i am pretty new to linux . My question is like this
suppose i write a shell script that starts playing a song using mp3blaster .now i want to write some more commands in the script that controls the this player like its sound
mp3blaster xyz.mp3 # xyz.mp3 is in the same directory in which i am executing example.sh
# here i need a body that controls this mp3blaster plyer
# like i need to control increasing and decreasing the sound level automatically while execution is being done.
#
#
#
exit
[--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------]
my question is not regarding the mp3blaster . it is for any console based application.
i would appreciate greatly if someone can reply to this logically . i do have some basic idea about navigating the shell and the shell scripting in general.
hello bigrigdriver,
it does give a lotof keybindings,thats correct .but i dont want to press 4 everytime to quit (in ur example). the shell has to do that for me.
let me make it more specific .
suppose i want to play the song for 20 secs and then it should quit automatically.
how to achieve that with a script.
