Automatically starting mpdscribble when mpd is started

Hi there!
I want to have some program (mpdscribble) automatically started when I run another (mpd), but I don't want to start either of them as a service upon booting. Is there a way to go about this? I've googled my ass of but to no avail. Thanks!

You can make a simple shell script which starts both of them. Add that to your path and use that so start instead of the "mpd" command.
Something like this:
#!/bin/sh
mpd &
mpdscribble &

  • If my printer is not connected to my computer, why does it start up when my computer starts up?

    I disconnected my printer (a Brother inkjet) from my computer last night as it was continually starting up and running thru it's cleaning process each time as my computer woke up, even tho I had turned the printer off. This morning the printer is still not connected to the mac, but it started up when the computer did. And this happened with the previous printer, which was an HP. Is there a setting on the Mac that I can set to not wake up the printer each time I use the computer? There are days when my computer is on, goes to sleep, wakes up, etc, and the printer is not needed, so I'd rather just have the printer stay off.
    Of course, the obvious solution would be to unplug the printer each time, but since that involves crawling around under the desk, it's not a preferable solution.
    Any thoughts on this one?

    Is the computer system software up to date?
    What about the printer driver version?
    If the printer is wireless capable, and has a
    sleep or low-power mode, it may stand-by
    or not really be 'off' so read a manual to see
    what the printer can do, & be sure the OS X
    is correct, along with maker's driver version.
    The printer may be seen as a bonjour printer
    or other, if it has an built-in antenna. I've not
    heard of a printer causing a Mac to wakeup
    in a manner of occurrence, as you've stated.
    I've had dozens of Macs & several brands of
    printers, w-fi capable or not. None ever did that.
    If you have a PowerPC Mac running Tiger 10.4.9
    or an Intel-based Mac, consider later software
    and any later driver updates for the printer(s.)
    Good luck

  • I have aol as my start up when my computer starts up.How do I make firefox mine instead?

    When i bought the computer it had aol already installed.I want firefox as my main thing.When i turn on my computer I want it to go straight to firefox not aol.How do i do this.

    After migrating your whole user account from another computer you will be left with 2 user acounts on the target computer.
    The best way to keep just the new user account is to log into the account you want to keep, then go into system preferences > users&groups (Accounts if using snow leopard) then delete the other account.
    (Make sure you have a backup of any files you wish to keep on that user account if any)
    If you wanted to just merge particular files from one computer to another instead of creating two user accounts you would be better off using the good old drag and drop method instead of migration assistant.

  • Help-Cubes are not getting started when Analytical server started in 11.1.1

    Installed Oracle Essbase Analytical server along with Shared Services, Provider Services and Integration Services thru EPM v11.1.1.3. Shared services and provider services on Windows 2003 and Essbase Analytical Services and Integration Services on UNIX/AIX. All the components got configured successfully. Copied the essbase.sec from the server which has previous version (v11.1.1.1.0) of Essbase. We have been encountering couple of problems. The first one is the applications(cubes) didn't start when the analytical server started. The second one is when trying to start using MAXL script, the applications took long time (more than 30 minutes) to start.
    Any suggestions that you may have in resolving this are appreciated. Thanks,

    In the application properties, is the box 'Start application when Essbase server starts' checked? If not, that's why they didn't automatically start. Also, once you started them manually, does it still take 30 minutes to start? Or is shutdown and startup faster now?

  • Is it possible to save a data portion starting from when a "save" button is pressed?

    Hi,
    The below attached vi acquires data from a sensor. The sensor signal output can be reset to zero and the data saved into a file. However, the saved data comprises the data portion starting from when the vi starts running until the "stop" button is pressed. Is it possible to save the data portion starting from when the "save" button until the "stop" button are pressed?
    Best regards,

  • [Forum FAQ] Why does Office 2013 cost more network flow when the application starts by default?

    Recently, we’ve heard that our customers encounter high network traffic since they large-scalely deploy Office 365/2013 within the domain/site. Does this behavior relate to the new Office? Or does Office 365/2013 cost more network resources in this case?
    To troubleshoot this, we consider to analyze what happened during the process by Network Monitor tool. 
    Start a new capture first and launch Office Word 2013, get the following things as the screenshots:
    According to the information above,
    in addition to the network authentication flow, we could notice that the Word.exe would download a lot of PNG files from the link “/en-us/templates”. What about those PNG files?
    Let us try to directly visit them via IE:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TM103463086.png?ts=AOLhIeGIzwg
    Beyond question, they are the thumbnails of the Office template which are downloaded while the Office application starts by default.

    In
    some certain circumstances,
    we might disable it by Office option or Group policy.
    Disable Start Screen by Office 2103 UI:
    Open Office 2013 application, go to File in Ribbon > Options tab > General page > under the section of Start Screen options, uncheck the options "Show the
    Start screen when this application starts"
    Disable Start Screen by Registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General
    DisableBootToOfficeStart (DWORD): set the value
    to 1
    Disable Start Screen by Group Policy:
    Disable Start Screen by OCT:

  • Auto Start IChat program at System Start?

    Is there a way to automatically start IChat when the system starts? IE: Auto Login so I don't have to "Manually" start it each time?

    NOTE for some.
    It is worth noting that on some (Slower) Macs that, as the Start Up procedure actually connects to the Network quite late in the order of things, you may have problems.
    The Mac will in fact start to launch apps listed in the Login Items before the whole Start Up procedure has finished.
    This can mean if iChat is the only item or high on the list in Login Items that it can not find the Network and Log In before Start Up has finished.
    You may have to delete iChat from it's position in the list as it is not drag-able and re-enter it to have it later in the order of things.

  • How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

    how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
    Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

  • In Lion, running on an i MAC (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs from automatically starting up when I start my MAC?

    In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?

    Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
    Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

  • HT1349 When listening to songs on my itunes acct (without ipod attached), I can only play one song at a time. It doesn't automatically play next song on list. It happens with all playlists. It only started happening when I downloaded the latest itunes upd

    When listening to songs on my itunes acct (without ipod attached), I can only play one song at a time. It doesn't automatically play next song on list. It happens with all playlists. It only started happening when I downloaded the latest itunes update.

    Are all songs checked in your playlist?

  • Bluetooth no longer loads automatically when the computer starts

    I have the Bluetooth Stack version 2.01.21.1. It was working fine. When the laptop booted up, the bluetooth mouse was automatically connected.
    All of a sudden the icon no longer appears automatically in the system tray and so I have to manually connect the mouse each time
    It is still listed in the startup menu on the desktop and it is still checked in startup in the msconfig.
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    I have just gotten off the phone with a microsoft tech who actually seems to have fixed this somewhat
    He went to start/run to get to services.msc.
    He chose "SSDP Discovery Services" which "enables discovery of
    UPnP devices on your home network" and DISABLED it.
    Go figure
    The BT icon now appears in my system tray and starts up automatically when the computer starts.
    I say somewhat because It still disconnects if left idle for a long period, which it did not do previously, but at least it is there when I log on.
    I want to mention that I have a Dell, not a Toshiba (did not realize this forum was for Toshiba laptops rather than Toshiba software) but perhaps
    you will find this information useful.
    Also, at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx you will find an autorun tool that lets you fix what is or is not
    in the startup menus. It seems to work better than using msconfig which on my laptop was not making a difference as to what started up and what did not.
    It is meant for IT professionals so I would not mess with it too much. However if you just check or uncheck in the startups for the BT manager you will
    not do any damage.

  • ITunes does not automatically start up when iPhone is connected.

    Usually, iTunes and the camera options started up when my iPhone was plugged in. Now, only the camera options start up, and iTunes doesn't. It recognizes my phone when i turn on iTunes, but how come it doesn't automatically do it anymore?

    I had the same issue with Windows Vista. I would plug in my iphone after the new Itunes update and Windows would say "found new device" and try installing drivers. It would then report it failed. I looked under device manager and saw that it was listed as a camera device. I followed the steps found in the following url, and now my iphone is synching. I hope it works for you.

  • Why won't my bookmarks side menu automatically pop up when I start firefox

    Most times when I start Firefox the Bookmarks side menu does not automatically pop up, and I must start it almost every time.

    The Bookmarks Sidebar isn't supposed to open when Firefox is started. But, if it is open when you close Firefox, it should be open the next time you start Firefox.
