NAME

dr_init — hack in order to run a system-like mpd as a user, and start draai

SYNOPSIS

dr_init

DESCRIPTION

dr_init sets up ~/.mpdconf, chmod(1)'s some of mpd files, starts mpd(1) and calls "draai init".

dr_init is useful if you want multiple graphical user sessions running on one machine, by different people. And if you want all these logged in people to be able to interface with mpd, and want all these people to have control over the one set of speakers enabled by the system. If you have more regular requirements, please don't use dr_init. In such a case, very likely draai is only usable for you when running on a headless system. (The author is one of those Unix greybeards who like to run and use http and smtp servers on a graphical desktop system.)

The dr_init tool is implemented in 25 lines of bourne shell script, you could just look at the source to see what it tries to do.
