Hi,

I'm fairly new to linux and shell programming...sorry if my questions are really dumb

I have a few real audio files which I wanted to run continously. So, when I checked out my Real Player (version 8), it did not seem to have a playlist option. Finally, after what I have managed to learn until now, I set out to right the following script to run the files myself....

#!/bin/bash

realplay /home/harish/ISKCON/gauri.ram
realplay /home/harish/ISKCON/dgreet.ram
....and so on until i finished all my files


Now the problem is...the second file wont play unless I close the real player window corresponding to the first file....so I ve to click the close button each time I want the next file to be played....this is very annoying

Is there any better way of writing the script so that the entire process is automated?

I don't its possible with real player. But there is a playlist option under the play menu.

you could add "killall -KILL realplay" after each file has finished playing.

Somehow in my real player, the playlist option has been disabled! I cannot click it. Any idea how I can get back this?

I tried this...but again its the same problem. Unless I close my first window, the second song wont play
