Problems running a emcast from cron job
Hi,
I have problem with running emcast from cron job (I use emcast because it supports multicasting). I have simple script that looks like this:
emcast 234.5.6.1:1234 > file.ts
Script is saved like stream.sh
When I run it from shell, file is created and some data is written in it. When I try to run it from cron job, script is executed, file is created, but file size is 0.
My crontab configuration look like this:
HOME=/home/nnn/Streaming
PATH=/home/nnn/Streaming:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:$
SHELL=/bin/bash
50 * * * * stream.sh
I also tried to make some logs with this script:
emcast 234.5.6.1:1234 > fajl.ts 2>/tmp/error.log
but error.log file is empty
Thanks

shells(4) File Formats shells(4)
NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh,
/bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh,
/usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)).

/etc/shells lists shells on system
