Thanks Doug,
The link is http://pastebin.com/tW5CqpWV -- however, I can give the
readers digest version.
/bin/sh: ffmpeg: command not found
Mirobridge works fine outside of cron, I *think* it worked correctly at one
time... but I've had a number of issues I've been working through and can't
be sure of that.
For the ffmpeg problem, I plan to add the following to the top of my crontab
(assuming ffmpeg is in one of these paths, I will check when I am home):
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
Hopefully that would address that problem.
