About QjackCtl's Patchbay and aj-snapshot
Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2023 9:12 pm
Hi, my application is a radio station air chain where having the computer handling the audio hit the ground running on reboot is essential. I'm a shell scripting kind of guy, very old school, got started on BSD UNIX back in the days of old when knights were bold.
So my plan is to
- Launch QjackCtl on reboot,
- Use its internal Execute Script on Startup feature to launch a shell script that loads the clients and devices and bridges and things,
- Then restore connections.
- Then cross fingers.
Seems that QjackCtl's Patchbay should restore all connection if it launches with the Patchbay active . . . or it seems I could use aj-snapshot's --restore (from a saved file) the connections once everything has gotten loaded.
Is one better/funner/more reliable than the other?
Thank you! JACK is pretty complicated . . . not laying out a multilayer circuit board complicated, but pretty complicated.
