I am setting up motion on a Raspberry Pi. It seems to work fine when I
start from command line, sudo motion but does not save files when started
with boot up from /etc/default/motion. Same exact configuration file, in
/etc/motion.
I've attached segments of the log file from when it could or could not save
files.

What user are you running motion under when it is run from boot? Does that
user have permissions to write to the location to which you want your
videos written?

Hi there.
All,
firstly - I'm not sure if this is the right place for this.
secondly - I'm no linux expert (by a million miles!)
I have motion working on my raspberry pi, and have got it recording video
(yay!). I also want it to record audio.
I have the following line in my /etc/motion/motion.conf file
on_event_start sh /media/motion/onevent
the onevent script has the following in it
#!/bin/sh
now=$(date)
echo "$now - starting recording"
arecord -D plughw:1,0 -f cd /media/motion/bob.wav
now=$(date)
echo "$now - ending recording"
I know that the onevent script is getting run (I tried it with a simple
file copy command in the script that copied one text file to another in the
same /media/motion directory - which worked).
However, nothing happens with the arecord command when called from
on_event_start. However, if I run the onevent script from the shell (i.e.
sudo sh onevent), the recording does work.
I have chowned the /media/motion folder to the motion user.
I know that I need to change the arecord parameters to have a date/time
stamped file name. I'm just making this as simple as possible for now to
get things working.
Any thoughts on what I'm missing? Is there a better way to do this?
Regards
Jo
