I listen to a stream that plays data retrieved by curl piped to madplay, on my Inspiron8000's Ubuntu GNOME desktop:
#!/bin/sh # Clean out old sessions. killall curl madplay sleep 2 # WWOZ.org stream curl http://wwoz-sc.streamguys.com:80 | madplay -Q -
Every once in a while the curl process is interrupted by a network timeout. I want to put the script into a loop that tests the playback status, and restarts the pipeline if it's not playing. Any ideas?
