20 | .SH NAME | |
21 | disorder \- DisOrder jukebox client | |
22 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
23 | .B disorder | |
24 | .RI [ OPTIONS ] | |
25 | .RB [ -- ] | |
26 | .RI [ COMMANDS ...] | |
27 | .br | |
28 | .B disorder | |
29 | .B --length | |
30 | .RI [ OPTIONS ] | |
31 | .RB [ -- ] | |
32 | .IR PATH ... | |
33 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
34 | Without the \fB--length\fR option, | |
35 | .B disorder | |
36 | is used to query the \fBdisorderd\fR(8) daemon from the command line. | |
37 | It may be used to request tracks, scratch tracks, query the current | |
38 | state, etc, and by an administrator to shutdown or reconfigure the | |
39 | daemon. | |
40 | .PP | |
41 | If no commands are specified then \fBdisorder\fR connects to the | |
42 | daemon and then immediately disconnects. This can be used to test | |
43 | whether the daemon is running. Otherwise, it executes the commands | |
44 | specified. | |
45 | .SH OPTIONS | |
46 | .TP | |
47 | .B --config \fIPATH\fR, \fB-c \fIPATH | |

208 | .TP | |
209 | .B become \fIUSER\fR | |

219 | .TP | |
220 | .B shutdown | |
221 | Shut down the daemon. | |
222 | .SH PREFERENCES | |
223 | Currently the following preferences are supported. Some are expected | |
224 | to be set by users, others updated automatically by plugins. | |
225 | .TP | |
226 | .B pick_at_random | |
227 | If this preference is present and set to "0" then the track will not | |
228 | be picked for random play. Otherwise it may be. | |
229 | .TP | |
230 | .B played | |
231 | A decimal integer giving the number times the track was played. This | |
232 | includes tracks that are scratched or were picked at random. | |
233 | .TP | |
234 | .B played_time | |
235 | The last time the track was played, as a \fBtime_t\fR converted to a | |
236 | decimal integer. | |
237 | .TP | |
238 | .B scratched | |
239 | The number of times the track has been scratched. | |
240 | .TP | |
241 | .B requested | |
242 | A decimal integer giving the number of times the track was requested. | |
243 | (Tracks that are removed before being played are not counted.) | |
244 | .TP | |
245 | .B tags | |
246 | Tags that apply to this track, separated by commas. Tags can contain any | |
247 | printing character except comma. Leading and trailing spaces are not | |
248 | significant but internal spaces are. | |
249 | .IP | |
250 | Using the | |
251 | .B required-tags | |
252 | and | |
253 | .B prohibited-tags | |
254 | global preferences, it is possible to limit the tracks that will be selected at | |
255 | random. | |
256 | .TP | |
257 | .B trackname_\fICONTEXT\fB_\fIPART\fR | |
258 | These preferences can be used to override the filename parsing rules | |
259 | to find a track name part. For backwards compatibility, | |
260 | \fBtrackname_\fIPART\fR will be used if the full version | |
261 | is not present. | |
262 | .TP | |
263 | .B unscratched | |
264 | The number of times the track has been played to completion without | |
265 | being scratched. | |
266 | .SH "Superuser Commands" | |
267 | These commands will (generally) only work for root, who must be a privileged | |
268 | user. | |
269 | .TP | |
270 | .B authorize \fIUSER\fR | |
271 | Chooses a password for \fIUSER\fR and adds it to \fIconfig.private\fR. Also | |
272 | creates an appropriate \fIconfig.USER\fR, be owned by the user. | |
273 | .IP | |
274 | If at least one \fBauthorize\fR command succeeds then the server is | |
275 | automatically told to re-read its configuration. | |
276 | .SH NOTES | |
277 | .B disorder | |
278 | is locale-aware. If you do not set the locale correctly then it may | |
279 | not handle non-ASCII data properly. | |
280 | .PP | |
281 | The client determines which user to attempt to authenticate as by | |
282 | examining the current UID. | |
283 | .PP | |
284 | This program is not intended to run in a setuid environment. | |
285 | .PP | |
286 | The regexp syntax used by the \fBfiles\fR and \fBdirs\fR commands use the | |
287 | syntax described in \fBpcrepattern\fR(3). Matching is case-independent. It is | |
288 | strongly recommended that you quote regexps, since they often contain | |
289 | characters treated specially by the shell. For example: | |
290 | .PP | |
291 | .B "disorder dirs /Music ~'^(?!the [^t])t'" | |
292 | .SH TROUBLESHOOTING | |
293 | If you cannot play a track, or it does not appear in the database even after a | |
294 | rescan, check the following things: | |
295 | .TP | |
296 | .B . | |
297 | Are there any error messages in the system log? The server logs to | |
298 | \fBLOG_DAEMON\fR, which typically ends up in | |
299 | .I /var/log/daemon.log | |
300 | or | |
301 | .IR /var/log/messages , | |
302 | though this depends on local configuration. | |
303 | .TP | |
304 | .B . | |
305 | Is the track in a known format? Have a look at | |
306 | .I pkgconfdir/config | |
307 | for the formats recognized by the local installation. The filename matching is | |
308 | case-sensitive. | |
309 | .TP | |
310 | .B . | |
311 | Do permissions on the track allow the server to read it? | |
312 | .TP | |
313 | .B . | |
314 | Do the permissions on the containing directories allow the server to read and | |
315 | execute them? | |
316 | .PP | |
317 | The user the server runs as is determined by the \fBuser\fR directive in the | |
318 | configuration file. The README recommends using \fBjukebox\fR for this purpose | |
319 | but it could be different locally. | |
320 | .SH ENVIRONMENT | |
321 | .TP | |
322 | .B LOGNAME | |
323 | The default username. | |
324 | .TP | |
325 | .B HOME | |
326 | The user's home directory. | |
327 | .TP | |
328 | .B LC_ALL\fR, \fBLANG\fR, etc | |
329 | Current locale. See \fBlocale\fR(7). | |
330 | .SH FILES | |
331 | .TP | |
332 | .I pkgconfdir/config | |
333 | Global configuration file. See \fBdisorder_config\fR(5). | |
