[fluid-dev] fluidsynth as server won't load config file

[Srijan Deshpande]

Hello, 

I'm using a script to run fluidsynth at boot as a server and without the shell (using -is) on my raspberry pi. I'm also giving it a configuration file using the -f flag. 

Fluid synth starts properly and loads the sound font just fine, but whatever I do, it just doesn't load the config file. 

My script is like this:

#!/bin/bash

# Script to start FluidSynth & aconnect

echo Attempting to start FluidSynth

sudo fluidsynth -f /home/pi/config.txt -a alsa -is /home/pi/soundfont.sf2 &

sleep 10

aconnect 20:0 128:0

How do I get it to load the config file? Any suggestions?

Another question: In this case, I can only access the fluidsynth shell using telnet. So how do I quit fluidsynth? If I use the 'quit' command, it quits telnet, but fluid synth keeps running!

Thanks!

Srijan
