since we got not much info to go on
you won't get many answers

what auto dj are you talking about
how is your setup??

you need to give us at least some info so we might give you answers that will work for you.

I think it`s sc_trans.

EttaFiX, try kill -s USR1 [PID] on shell(if you have acess to it).

P.S. Don`t forget to enter the PID of sc_trans process.

Not that I think about it, I would have to agree that this must be sc_trans.

The above solution is correct.

I would like to add that sc_trans only loads the playlist file when the program is launched. After that it never looks at the file again. Therefore, if you change something in the playlist file the only way you can get sc_trans to pickup on that is by killing it and restarting it.

Make sure you kill ALL instances of sc_trans as it spawns many...

yes AlexIT I have acess.


maby you can tell to my step by step how I should "
kill -s USR1 [PID] on shell"

[EttaFiX]

in which plase I'll should write this comand? "USR1" and what ever my step?

[AlexIT]

Open your favourite shell "device"(I have php script), type: ps auxww

Now you will see the list of started processes, look for sc_trans and find the PID of it.

For ex.:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND
sanfmru 906 10,1 0,1 4952 3852 ?? SJ 2:52 3:15,66 /home/xxx/xxx/xxx/sc_trans_freebsd /home/xxx/xxx/xxx/sc_trans.conf

The PID is 906 in this case, than type: kill -s USR1 906 and the playlist will be reloaded.

You can chek it in sc_trans.log

Let me know the results.. :)

Why "look"? Looking is for losers :)

ps auxww | grep sc_trans

[AlexIT]

[AlexIT]

There is some nice info here

http://ruckman.net/ruckman_archive/William%20Ruckman's%20EZ%20Linux%20Shoutcast%20server.htm

If you scroll down a bit, there is a script that you can use to control your sc_trans by using the following commands:

./dj start

./dj stop

Simple but effective, I use it myself and it also has other features such as reloading playlists.
