[mythtv-users] mythrename.pl fails when called from cron

[OCG Technical Support]

I've got a cron job to create links to all of my recordings (for easy access
by Windows clients).  The script runs fine when run from the command line,
but fails when cron runs it (with the error below).

 

Judging from the error, it can't find config.xml (which exists under root
and mythtv accounts).  Does cron run a job as no one?  Looking at the error
the script is looking into "//" which it won't find...

 

Thanks

No config found; attempting to find mythbackend via UPnP.

No backends found.  Please copy //.mythtv/config.xml from a working MythTV
installation instead.
