A few days ago I had problems with growisofs an cron. growisofs does not work in scripts stared by cron when using it with "-Z" option. Even restoring any possible parts of environment does not help.
So I tried to see what happens if I feed growisofs stdin with /dev/null like cron does: growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -r -J <burndir> < /dev/null growisofs does not write any data to disk, but replys: FATAL: /dev/sdc0 already carries isofs. Same message as if it is started by cron... Simple solution: feeding growisofs with an existing bidirectional terminal: growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -r -J <burndir> < /dev/tty1 .. works! So the workaround is to get growisofs's stdin from a non-existing bidirectional terminal: /dev/tty13 on my machine. growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -r -J <burndir> < /dev/tty13 .. works in every script. Problem solved, but dirty trick. Seems to me that this ist not necessary ... CU k-hm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
