Can someone point to me to a definition of the difference between hijack's @EXEC and @EXEC_ONCE config.ini options?

I just cannot find anything that actually explains the difference, so a pointer would really help.

Thanks.

@EXEC executes the given command every time the player app starts.

@EXEC_ONCE does it on power up and that's it.

(I think that's right.)

I can't find an immediate definitive link. It seems that the Hijack FAQ is less than up-to-date.

Edit: Here you go.

That would make sense as the recommendation for telnetd was @EXEC_ONCE and for running ntpdate was @EXEC.

When the empeg 'sleeps', is the player app still running or has it been terminated and it only starts again when you wake up the empeg?

I just answered that - it's still running. I have 14 player processes - is that right, how come so many?

Under what circumstances would the player app be stopped?

One per thread, probably.

- When you Q or Ctrl-C or kill at a shell prompt.

- When you use a configuration tweak to add the "Quit" item to the player's main menu, and then select it from the player's main menu.

- When the player app crashes for some reason.

I'm not sure if the player app stops at any point during a synchronization operation, or if the player just receives a reboot command...
