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

[David Whyte]

Wow!  That worked :P

For the record, I have a file in /etc/cron.d/ called mythfilldatabase
which contains...
7 */12 * * * root sh /usr/local/bin/scheduledmythfilldb.sh

..and the /usr/local/bin/scheduledmythfilldb.sh script contains...
#!/bin/bash

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/

mythfilldatabase

...and everything is working sweet as :P

Cheers,
Dave
