MOC - autorun - how?

That's an easy fix. Create a file in your home directory named '.play-moc' and put in the following:


#!/bin/bash
mocp -S && \
mocp -p


and then in the terminal:


chmod 755 ~/.play-moc


Go into the Startup Applications menu and enter in ~/.play-moc . The bash file will take care of calling up the MOC server and also playing it.

This might be over the top, but I created an init.d script. It was my first one (and could probably use a lot of cleaning up), but it could help you out.

This is much prettier in Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/gPXfRq56
