help with simple script
Hello....I need help with a simple script to play streaming audio from a site I like to listen to. I would like to:
1. bring up the Konsole
2. call up xmms
3. listen to this location: http://aud-one.kpfa.org:8090/kpfa.ogg
I know how to make a script that will bring up Konsole and then start xmms, but how do I enter code to start playing the above location? I can only get as far as bringing up xmms. I dont want to have to manually type in the URL, I want script to do it for me so then I can save the script on desktop for easy access. I have done this using MPLAYER cause it works in command line on my computer downstairs, so making the script was easy. But I want to be able to use xmms cause MPLAYER does not work on this laptop. so basically I want a script that will open media player, and play the location. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you....bob

Try looking in the XMMS man pages.
Mabye there is someway to tell it to open a location by CLI.

You can either save directly onto your Desktop folder on you can save to any of your home folder and create a link on desktop.
Make sure the script set to executable.
