[mythtv-users] Re: scheduled mythfilldatabase errors. manual mythfilldatabase runs fine (tv_grab_au)

[David Whyte]

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the reply mate.  Can I ask how I could possibly update the
path for the non-interactive root login?  I am a linux noob and paths
are definately one of the areas that I don't yet understand.

For me, tv_grab_au is in...
[root at myth Default]# which tv_grab_au
/usr/local/bin/tv_grab_au

...and my path for the interactive root user is...
[root at myth Default]# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/u
sr/X11R6/bin:/usr/lib/jre/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin:/root/bin
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks,
Dave
