Feature: Add flag to run one command and exit right away

[ratberryjam]

It would be nice to have a flag when running itunes-remote to tell it to just perform the specified command and exit, say if you just want to quickly pause or stop playback.

Just to make sure I get it straight.

You man instead of:

$ itunes-remote 
iTunes: play
Hold on …
✔ Playing ♪♬
iTunes: exit --force
$ 

Something like:

$ itunes-remote 
iTunes: play --exit
Hold on …
✔ Playing ♪♬
$ 

This is definitely a reasonable use case 👌

[ratberryjam]

Exactly 👍

Additionally:

$> itunes-remote play --exit
Hold on …
✔ Playing ♪♬
$>

But I assume that providing --exit to play would support both use cases?

I WILL SUBMIT A PR TODAY FOR THIS.

And immediately alias play='itunes-remote play --exit'...

@al-the-x Ideally it would work for play, stop, pause, next, previous and back

Would also like to see this :)

would be great !

Implemented for the following commands: play, stop, pause, next, previous and back.

Example usage from the interactive mode:

$ itunes
iTunes: start --exit
$

Example usage from outside:

$ itunes stop --exit
iTunes:
✔ Stopped playing ♪♬
$
