Hi, I'm new to darkice. We will switch from an existing WinXP/Oddcast/Icecast to a fitPC with LinuxMint/darkice/Icecast in a little public Radiostation. I've all setup and it workes good up to one thing: Mostly once at a Day, I got an Error (from darkice) like "Failed to write to ring buffer". I mean, that occurs when darkice reconnect due the disconnect by the IP-Provider. Now, I try to catch up this Message and reconnect darkice. But my skills in Batch-Scripting are very small. I'd like to write a script, that: - start jack - start meterbridge - start rotter - start darkice with first stream - start darkice with second stream I use the scripts from Niles Dettenbach to start and stop darkice. How can I get the errormessage. She is not logging in the darcice.logfile, only in the terminal. But to Day, for me it's very hard to understand 2>&1 and so on. Can anyone help me? Regards, Jörg
