[mythtv-users] Can't run mythrename.sh from cron

[Mark Wormgoor]

Hi

> I have a simple script to kick off mythrename. It's a file called
> mythrename.sh. It contains:

> #!/bin/bash

> /usr/share/doc/mythtv-docs-0.21/contrib/mythrename.pl --link --underscores 
>  --format '%T %- %S %- %Y%m%d%G%i%s'

Edit your script to read:
#!/bin/bash
export HOME=/root
perl 
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-docs-0.21/contrib/mythrename.pl --link --underscores --format 
'%T %- %S %- %Y%m%d%G%i%s'

As you can see in the error message, it's trying to open 
//.mythtv/config.xml. Your home directory ought to be between those first 
two slashes.

Kind regards,

Mark
