Hello

I've built an wireless mp3 player out of an old compter using DSLiinux. When it boots it runs the command :-

xmms http://192.168.0.3:9000/stream.mp3

This connects to my server and plays my mp3s.

I would like to write a script that re executes the above line if it fails to connect.

This will enable me to turn off the main sever at night, and when I turn it back on the media player should reconnect automatically.

Any help would be greatfully received

you just need to wrap it in a while loop, something like

while 1
command here
end

ugly, but it should do the trick, see man bash for more info
