some additional info:
the script fails because the pidfile-path it parses from /etc/mpd.conf
contains a relative path ~/.mpd/pidfile on my system. as it can't find
that directory with an internal lookup it tries to mkdir it:
----
MPDCONF=/etc/mpd.conf
PIDFILE=$(sed -n 's/^[[:space:]]*pid_file[[:space:]]*"\?\([^"]*\)\"\?/\1/p'
$MPDCONF)
PIDDIR=$(dirname "$PIDFILE")
if [ ! -d "$PIDDIR" ]; then
mkdir -m 0755 $PIDDIR
chown $USER:audio $PIDDIR
fi
----
also, it might be better if the script looked for the file
/home/username/.mpdconf first for settings, before trying /etc/mpd.conf.
mpd itself looks in ~/.mpdconf for configuration first.
thanks. :-)
