murmur-user-wrapper [options]

Murmur is the server component of Mumble, a low-latency, high quality VoIP application. Murmur-wrapper is a wrapper script to make it easier for normal users to set up their own, private murmur server.

-ddirectory

Set directory to use. By default, the wrapper script uses $HOME/murmur

-s

Check if murmur process is running.

-k

Terminate running murmur process.

-i

Initialize only, do not start the server.

-ppassword

Specify password for the SuperUser account and exit. SuperUser is the mumble equivalent of root, a special user which bypasses all access restrictions.

To create your own private server, you first want to run

• murmur-user-wrapper -i

Then edit ~/murmur/murmur.ini to set the various configuration settings. The most important is probably the port; unless you're the only murmur process running on this server, you'll need to change it.

When you're happy with your settings, you need to set the password for SuperUser, which is your administrator account.

• murmur-user-wrapper -p <password>

Once this is done, simply run

• murmur-user-wrapper

to start the server.
