Hi,
I couldn't ever get it to work like I wanted. I ended up getting rid of
the script and just looping it using a ticker with pkill -2 play. It's
too bad I can't name play something else when I call it for music
though, because this kills all instances of play I think and all I wanna
do is kill the music.
Thanks
Storm
