[mythtv-users] System Events failing with "result 13"

[Alan W. Bak]

Hi

I'm upgrading to MythTV version 34 on an Ubuntu 24.04 backend (from Myth 
31 on 20.04). I have a number of Perl scripts that are accessed with 
System Event Handlers but the scripts are not executing when called on 
the upgraded system. Here are a couple lines from the mythbackend.log 
file when the script is called:

2024-07-17T00:47:55.208101+00:00 zulu mythbackend: mythbackend[1297]: I 
CoreContext mythsystemevent.cpp:315 (customEvent) 
MythSystemEventHandler: Starting thread for command 
'/home/mythtv/events/recording_writing.pl 10208'
2024-07-17T00:47:55.308286+00:00 zulu mythbackend: mythbackend[1297]: W 
SystemEvent mythsystemevent.cpp:51 (run) MythSystemEventHandler: 
Finished '/home/mythtv/events/recording_writing.pl 10208' result 13

I can't find any reference to the "result 13" but I think it is 
indicating a problem as the old system returned "result 0". The scripts 
are all stored on the backend machine and run properly when launched 
from the command line.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks Alan
