Amahi Forums

Hi I just found the Headphones "app". Ok not a real amahi app but I don't know what it is called when you have to run from commandline.
To run the headphones app I need to run a command from putty and as soon as I close down the putty the program stops. Is there some way to have the Headphones app run in the background even after I close down putty?

Typically if you add an ampersand (&) to the end of a command line it will run in the back ground. Then when you close the Putty session it should not stop.

I know this is quite an old post but I was searching for the best way to install headphones on Amahi and thought it could do with a little update. I could use a little help with securing the page as it may need a htaccess file creating but I'm a little rusty and wondered if this would be the best way.

Anyway, here is what I did to add headphones as a web app on ubuntu, fedora should be fairly straightforward now there are start up scripts.


Create headphones web app via dashboard named "headphones" leaving path option as default

SSH to HDA and issue the following commands to correct the html directory permissions as root Clone the git source from github to your web root directory (html) with Open the Ubuntu init.d file and edit for Amahi installation Change APP_PATH line to read APP_PATH=/var/hda/web-apps/headphones/html

Ctrl + X then Y then Return to save and exit

As root copy the file to it's appropriate place and tell ubuntu to use use the script Test it is working by issuing this command and checking http://headphones:8181 in your browser

Can you please update the wiki with this guidance? We like to keep tutorials for apps there as it's easier to maintain and search.
