 |
|
I want to try and use my cron as an alarm clock to wake me up in the morning, but i've been having a lot of trouble with it lately because sometimes when mpg123 attempts to run via cron it can not use my sound device because it is already in use. Is there any simple way to discover which program is using sound so I can kill it a minute or so before my cron executes mpg123? (Yeah... I dont have hardware mixing.... or DMIX working... and I dont have a sound card at all)
