3.5. Options for remote cue control

Note that remote controlling of instances is only possible if the instance you want to send a command to is running as the same user as you are when you issue the remote command.

-N, --session <int>

Specify the instance number to send the remote command to. Instances are numbered on a per user basis, starting with 0. Except for the zero-th instance (started first), the instance number is displayed in the title bar of the main window (e.g.: `Aqualung.3'). If you don't use this option, the following options will control the zero-th instance by default, except for -L which defaults to the present instance (so as to be able to start playback immediately from the command line).

-B, --back

Jump to previous track.

-F, --fwd

Jump to next track.

-L, --play

Start playing.

-U, --pause

Pause playback, or resume if already paused.

-T, --stop

Stop playback.

-V, --volume [m|M]|[=]<val>

Adjust the volume. m/M means mute; if = is present, the remote instance's volume control will be set to the value specified, otherwise, the volume will be adjusted by the supplied (signed) value. The values are in dB units.

-Q, --quit

Terminate remote instance.
