(apologies for sending an incomplete mail earlier) Hi is there a way to detect that a CLI command has succeeded or failed when using the socket interface offered by module-cli-protocol-unix? Specifically I'm currently interested in the "play-file" command (which seems to be only accessible over the CLI interface). If the command fails because the daemon can't read the file, there is no error message returned back through the socket. Any error is only written to syslog. In general I don't see any way of getting back the success/error status of a command. pulse-cli-syntax man page does not mention anything in this regard. "pacmd" also does not signal failures through its exit code. I see that individual handlers in cli-command.c (including pa_cli_command_play_file) return -1 on error, but this status seems to be lost somewhere down the line. Is see that in line_callback() in cli.c the return value of pa_cli_command_execute_line() is ignored. Does anyone have any thoughts on how proper error handling could be implemented in the cli interface? I would be happy to work on a patch to fix this. Best regards Tomaž
