I have a script that's supposed to record a shoutcast stream for an hour, convert it to mp3, and then save it. The script runs correctly when I run it from the terminal, but I can't seem to get it to run in cron (where it should run every hour at the top of the hour). Here's the line in crontab: 0 * * * * /medialib/tech/bin/recordstream 2>&1 >> /medialib/tech/cron.log and here's the script: #!/bin/bash name="$(date +%s)" mp3_name=$name.mp3 wav_name=$name.wav timeout -sHUP 60m vlc -I dummy --sout "#transcode{channels=2}:std{access=file,mux=wav,dst=/medialib/stream_backup/wav/$wav_name" /medialib/tech/lib/listen.m3u lame --mp3input /medialib/stream_backup/wav/$wav_name /medialib/stream_backup/$mp3_name rm /medialib/stream_backup/wav/$wav_name Thank you!
