Is there a way to kill the player app while in a telnet session? Or is there a proper way to kill the player app while in a telnet session? If I use 'kill xx' (where 'xx' is one of the player PIDs) the player just restarts. I would like for it to stop completely and not restart.

Thanks,
-Chuck

I haven't tested it, but try ``kill -2 <pid>''. Also make sure you have a developer release installed.

Or if you've got empegface or VNC & Hijack then you can navigate the menu to the Quit option. You'll need quit=1 under [menu] in config.ini for that option to appear.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm playing around with the version 3 alpha releases and one of them doesn't load far enough to get to the 'Quit' option.

BTW, that's the equivalent of pressing Ctrl-C from the serial prompt.
