[mythtv-users] mythconverg_backup.pl --rotate 10

[Richard Morton]

Hi Mike,

I have moved the cron jobs to the myth user and it looks like it is
working when I am running the backup from the command line; now the
cron job is running off the same user I am sure it will now work!!!

Thanks for your patience!

I assume you no longer want to look at the verbose output, but here it
is anyway ;-)

thanks again
