If pianobar is running, this +# script will simply connect to pianobar's UI. +# +# If you close this script with ctrl-c or by closing the terminal, pianobar +# should continue running in the background. +# +# To close pianobar, press the key mapped to close pianobar ('q' by default). +# This script should detect that pianobar died and close as well. +# +### Known issues/limitations: +# +# When the user is at a text input field - such as login or naming a station - +# mappings to quit pianobar ('q' by default) will not quit pianobar. Moreover, +# techniques such as ctrl-c or closing the terminal will not quit pianobar +# either, as they only quit this script and leave pianobar running headlessly. +# To quit pianobar from this situation, one must either complete the text entry +# and get pianobar to a state where it will accept the quit mapping, or one +# must kill pianobar from outside of this script through commands such as +# `kill`. +# +# This script was initially intended to be bourne-shell compatible and +# portable, however one major limitation was found: the bourne shell does not +# seem to have a good way to read a single character at a time such as can be +# done with bash's "-n" flag. Thus this script is dependent on less portable +# techniques and currently requires bash. + + +# This script regularly checks whether or not pianobar is running in the +# background in order to detect when it closes.
