Is it possible to run pulpTunes as a launchd job in Mac OS X?
« on: May 18, 2009, 07:29:41 AM »
It states on the homepage, that there is a command line interface available.
However, I fail to find much info on how to use it.

My question is - is it possible to run pulpTunes as a "Service" in Mac OS X, ie. without needing to log in and clicking the app?

cd into /Applications/pulpTunes.app/Contents/Resources/Java. You'll find there pt_linux.sh, which is the command-line interface (only available as of 1.1.0 RC1, which is the latest beta release available from the last blog post, not from pulptunes.com homepage).

So you can issue
./pt_linux.sh -background
to run PT in the background. This is not exactly like a service, but it might suit your needs. Also call ./pt_linux.sh -h to find about more options, like logging, iTunes XML file location, etc.

Cheers.
