shutdown amarok gracefully

Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:10 pm
I have searched pretty hard and I apologize if I missed the info but does amarok have a dcop call to shutdown itself

I use kalarm to call a script that starts amarok and very slowly fades the music in the morning to wake up to(it disables the replaygain at the beginning and enables the replaygain at the end). I would like to be able to call another script with kalarm to shutdown amarok.
Right now I am using code #killall amarokapp
but this seems to some times cause problems on start up and you can sort of tell this is not the best way to shutdown amarok as use dont have that nice fade out at the end ;) .
Thanks for your time

probably because the forums have been up and down over the last week.

[code:1]dcop amarok MainApplication-Interface quit[/code:1]

Oh Man! thanks a bunch :)

Now did I miss this call in my googling do you have a link with a more extensive listing of the dcop calls?

Why link? Isn\'t program kdcop included in KDE better way? :P

As patpi says, kdcop is a handy tool for browsing dcop commands, and trying them out.
I guess eventually the amaroK wiki will be updated with a full list...
