16.59. taler-mdb-ads.sh(1)¶
16.59.1. Name¶
taler-mdb-ads.sh - Taler multi-drop bus vending machine advertisement renderer
16.59.2. Synopsis¶
taler-mdb-ads.sh [-c FILENAME] [-h]
16.59.3. Description¶
taler-mdb-ads.sh is a command-line tool to render advertisements.
Its options are as follows:
- -c FILENAME
Use the configuration and other resources for the command to operate from FILENAME.
- -h
Print short help on options.
When this script is running, it will cycle through rendering the files in $PREFIX/share/taler/ads/ on FRAMEBUFFER_DEVICE (as defined in the configuration file). It will render them in a random order, reshuffling them each time it loops around. It depends on the fbi tool (https://www.kraxel.org/blog/linux/fbida/) to render images on the framebuffer.
Note that, as of taler-mdb v0.10.0, we kill all (via killall) running fbi processes when cycling between images, not just the ones we started. This behaviour may change in future releases.
