Hi David, The bluemusic-users mailing list only accepts messages from people who are subscribed to the list as a measure to prevent spamming of the list, so not that the list doesn't like you, just that you need to become friends with it. =) As for the stray csound command, I've come across that before but thought I had gotten rid of the problem. I'll take a look at the code to see if there isn't any checking code that is off. Whenever it's happened to me, I've always done a "ps -Al" (not sure that works on OSX, but a ps command with -aux maybe will do) to see if a csound process is hanging around, then will use either "killall csound" to kill all the processes, or if it's not stopping to issue a "kill -i #" where # is the process number. I think that should work for OSX. Is the project you were working on in blue one which is for live performance, or simply rendering in realtime? steven On 9/17/05, David Akbari wrote: > Hi List, > > I tried emailing this to the Bluemusic-users list but the mailman > doesn't like me :( ... > > Anyway, I have found Blue to be an amazing tool for use with studying > computer music composition. > > I currently use the current CVS builds of both Csound5 and Blue > (0.99.7) and I have found the sometimes the csound process fails to > quit on OSX (10.3.9).
