This happens when the protocol is started - either downloading or synchronizing. -- Mike Crowe I may not be speaking on behalf of empeg above :-) _________________________ -- Mike Crowe

mac addict Registered: 20/05/1999 Posts: 411 Loc: Cambridge, UK	It never seems to work after I've used emptool. Exactly. The serial port has been used for the protocol so it is in raw mode. You can use emptool to quit the player if you need to. I'm not keen on using the remote to quit the player since there are far more important uses for all the buttons. Also, it would be useless on the consumer image. It is possible that the port could be reset to cooked mode after synchronisation is complete but this is quite difficult to manage. -- Mike Crowe I may not be speaking on behalf of empeg above :-) _________________________ -- Mike Crowe

This would be filled from a config file, and would allow us to run programs (or quit the player). If the file isn't there, then the programs menu doesn't appear. Just a thought.. =) Jazz (List 112, S/N 00030, 4 gig blue) _________________________ Jazz (List 112, Mk2 42 gig #40. Mk1 4 gig #30. Mk3 1.6 16v)

Something along those lines would certainly be sensible. -- Mike Crowe I may not be speaking on behalf of empeg above :-) _________________________ -- Mike Crowe

Killing the player won't help as long as init is running and killing init is not a good idea. :-( Btw. empeg-init seems to trap kill signals. What signal handlers are implemented? Since the empeg-init uses ttyS1, I need to kill it, so I can run pilot-xfer. -- Raphael Wegmann [email protected] _________________________ -- Raphael Wegmann [email protected]
