run_antelope.sh

#!/bin/bash

### Get my uid
UserID=`id -u`
echo "Your UID: ${UserID}"

### Unload root process
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.antelopeaudio.daemon.plist

### Kill the process if it was already awaken
PID=`ps -U "${UserID}"|grep AntelopeAudioServer|grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
if [ -n "${PID}" ] && [ "${PID}" -ge 1 ];
then
    kill -9 ${PID}
fi

### Check latest server
TARGET=`ls -1 /Users/Shared/.AntelopeAudio/managerserver/servers/|sort -nr|head -n 1`
/Users/Shared/.AntelopeAudio/managerserver/servers/${TARGET}/AntelopeAudioServer-${TARGET}.app/Contents/MacOS/AntelopeAudioServer &

SERVPID=$!
echo "Process ID is: ${SERVPID}"

### Open Antelope Launcher
open "/Applications/Antelope Launcher.app"

Amazingly helpful!

Dude, this is really helpful. Now my ZenTour works in newest macOS Catalina. Great and thanks a lot for that little helper script.

Thank you so much for this @hayakawa - how did you figure it our and what does it do different than how it installs itself? Is it because it's not run as daemon but directly?

Hello! @hannesoid,

First, I am NOT english user. so, I will may not understand the exact intent of your question :(

how did you figure it our and what does it do different than how it installs itself? Is it because it's not run as daemon but directly?

At the Normally Install(Antelope Audio default), Antelope Server process is awaken as a root process. And Antelope Launcher is awaken as a user process.

Antelope Launcher process(user process) cannot connect Antelope Server Process(root process), so trying to connect again and again.

I am not understand detail, but it looks like that for me.
(On MacOS 10.14(Mojave) it worked good but 10.15(Catalina) was not. So I think reason is something difference between Mojave and Catalina.)

I thought "If I awake Antelope Server Process as a user process, It will work good."

This tiny script is do it.

See Also my blog ;-)
