Hi ,
  
  I have n't got the options --nopercentage and --getskiplist available with mythcommflag.How to upgrade my myth to those options.
  
  Actually what my plan is that I want to schedule recordings and set a "user job" so that it will automatically remove commercials from recordings so that I can watch them afterwards I don't wanna do that from frontend and even I don't want any manual intervention in doing so.
  
 Yeah,I want to use that script ouside of myth and that to as user job.Whenever I try mythcommflag it showing file not found in database,though it is recorded previously!

I have a script that does this:  ... assuming the file I pass it is
/mnt/store/1014_20060913190000.mpg

mythcommflag  -c 1014  -s 20060913190000  --nopercentage
mythcommflag  -c 1014  -s 20060913190000  --gencutlist
mythtranscode -c 1014  -s 20060913190000  --honorcutlist --mpeg2
mv -f /mnt/store/1014_20060913190000.mpg /mnt/store/1014_20060913190000.mpg.orig
mv -f /mnt/store/1014_20060913190000.mpg.tmp /mnt/store/1014_20060913190000.mpg

.... looks like your running --gencutlist first that assumes a you've
got a commerical cut list. If you don't it won't do anything. You can
run
mythcommflag --getskiplist -f /path/to/file
to see if there is a commercial list already generated.
I get:
mythcommflag  --getskiplist -f /mnt/store/1014_20060913190000.mpg
2006-09-16 06:17:30.101 Using runtime prefix = /tmp/mythtv-install
2006-09-16 06:17:30.238 New DB connection, total: 1
2006-09-16 06:17:30.248 New DB connection, total: 2
Commercial Skip List:
1-3776,20242-29901,56715-70644,89872-102481,148963-160636,207775-214574
when I run it.

the last myth command I run in my script uses the cut list to do a
loss-less re-encode but it removes the commericals from the data.
