19disorder \- DisOrder jukebox client
20.SH SYNOPSIS
21.B disorder
22.RI [ OPTIONS ]
0d350ff0 23.RB [ \-\- ]
460b9539 24.RI [ COMMANDS ...]
460b9539 25.SH DESCRIPTION
460b9539 26.B disorder
27is used to query the \fBdisorderd\fR(8) daemon from the command line.
28It may be used to request tracks, scratch tracks, query the current
29state, etc, and by an administrator to shutdown or reconfigure the
30daemon.
31.PP
32If no commands are specified then \fBdisorder\fR connects to the
c0c23a60
RK
33daemon and then immediately disconnects.
34This can be used to test whether the daemon is running.
35Otherwise, it executes the commands specified.

36.PP
37This man page documents the command-line client.
38See \fBdisorderd\fR (8) for information about the server process

306.B disorder
c0c23a60
RK
307is locale-aware.
308If you do not set the locale correctly then it may not handle non-ASCII
309data properly.
460b9539 310.PP
e86021e4 311The client determines which user to attempt to authenticate as by examining the
c0c23a60
RK
312current UID.
313This can be overridden in a per-user configuration file, see
e86021e4
RK
314\fBdisorder_config\fR(5).
315.PP
316See \fBdisorder_protocol\fR(5) for the rights required to run each command.
317(For instance, \fBshutdown\fR requires the \fBadmin\fR right, which most users
318would not normally have.)
460b9539 319.PP
320This program is not intended to run in a setuid environment.
321.PP
322The regexp syntax used by the \fBfiles\fR and \fBdirs\fR commands use the
c0c23a60
RK
323syntax described in \fBpcrepattern\fR(3).
324Matching is case-independent.
325It is strongly recommended that you quote regexps, since they often
326contain characters treated specially by the shell.
327For example:
460b9539 328.PP
329.B "disorder dirs /Music ~'^(?!the [^t])t'"
330.SH TROUBLESHOOTING
331If you cannot play a track, or it does not appear in the database even after a
332rescan, check the following things:
333.TP
334.B .
335Are there any error messages in the system log? The server logs to
336\fBLOG_DAEMON\fR, which typically ends up in
337.I /var/log/daemon.log
338or
339.IR /var/log/messages ,
340though this depends on local configuration.
341.TP
342.B .
343Is the track in a known format? Have a look at
344.I pkgconfdir/config
c0c23a60
RK
345for the formats recognized by the local installation.
346The filename matching is case-sensitive.
460b9539 347.TP
348.B .
349Do permissions on the track allow the server to read it?
350.TP
351.B .
352Do the permissions on the containing directories allow the server to read and
353execute them?
354.PP
355The user the server runs as is determined by the \fBuser\fR directive in the
c0c23a60
RK
356configuration file.
357The README recommends using \fBjukebox\fR for this purpose but it could
358be different locally.
