Nice script, but you might want to add a delay after you stop/start the mt-daapd, not ?

deplay… pardon?

[fizze]

delay of course….. since the killall mt-daapd might not work infinitly fast.

something like “sleep 1”

just to ensure the killall went thru properly before restarting mt-daapd.
:rolleyes:

oh, it was a typo…well…never mind then 🙂 😀
