My problem is this: I have a script file that firstly starts Fluidsynth 
and secondly starts another program which feeds MIDI data into 
Fluidsynth. This all happens at boot-up and there isn't a keyboard or 
monitor connected to the system in the ordinary way. Therefore I'm 
unable to issue any shell commnds after Fluidsynth has been run. This is 
why I have all of those parameters on the command line.

Would it be possible for Fluidsynth to be modified for the next release 
so that the reverb can be controlled via command-line parameters?

Failing that (or in the meantime), is there another way of controlling 
Fluidsynth's reverb in my situation?

Cheers,
Gerald.
