    Application Post Cleanup?



    Application Post Cleanup?

    Is it possible to make a program started by clicking on in with KDE's menu to run a command on exit?

    This is my problem. I am using Kradio, as my front end for WinTv-PVR 350 radio. The default command Kradio uses does not make a connection to /dev/radio0. So I had to modify it like this.

    aplay -f dat < /dev/video24 & kradio

    When I close kradio it does not close aplay. This is a problem because if you started a tv stream you will not hear the last television channel that was played. My solution then was to go to the terminal and type the following command.

    # killall -9 aplay

    This will kill the audio from playing.

    Is there a way to make the application execute this command upon exiting? Or is their another way to accomplish what I am trying to do?

    Thanks, Lex

    Write a script and make it executable and place this within it.
    killall -9 aplay
    aplay -f dat < /dev/video24 &
    kradio
    killall -9 aplay
