PlayStation Media Server

PlayStation Media Server is a java app that serves up files to your PS3.

• Installed to /usr/libexec/pms/
• Fix linux/tsMuxer file permissions
• link debug.log to /dev/null

  $ ls -l /usr/libexec/pms/debug.log 
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2010-02-16 23:29 /usr/libexec/pms/debug.log -> /dev/null

• Use init script
• Use logrotate script
• Use PMS.conf

Crude, but works.

#
# make symlink for debug log:
# /usr/local/bin/pms/debug.log -> /dev/null
#
# stopping works
# starting works (the java_opts work)
# logging added
