NAME

       mpdcron - cron like daemon for mpd

SYNOPSIS

       mpdcron [option]

DESCRIPTION

       mpdcron is a cron like daemon for mpd.  It connects to mpd, waits for idle events.  It has
       two interfaces:

       • Hooks which are executed after setting environment variables which hooks can use to  get
         more information about the event without having to connect to mpd.

       • Modules,  which  are dynamically loaded and have direct access to mpd connection and the
         file descriptor of mpdcron's configuration file.

       By default it will get the  host  name  and  port  for  mpd  from  MPD_HOST  and  MPD_PORT
       environment  variables.   MPD_PASSWORD  environment  variable  can  be set to make mpdcron
       connect to a password-protected mpd.  If these environment variables aren't  set,  mpdcron
       connects to localhost on port 6600.

OPTIONS
