I have a mix of analog and rtsp cameras, 7 total. I'm using motion 4.1.1
compiled on Fedora 29. Will the newer versions of motion use multiple
threads by default? I've tried to set up external pipe in the past, but
I've never been able to get it to work. I'm not sure how to tell if it is
using multiple threads.
Thanks,
Harlan

You can use cron to run find to delete old files.

Let me try the explanation again.
Assume motion is running and all three RTSP cameras are operation with
motion detection started.
When I go through the following steps in a script:
1. wget http://mycam:8080/0/detection/pause
2. wget http://mycam:8080/1/action/quit
3. wget http://mycam:8080/2/action/quit
4. wget http://mycam:8080/3/action/quit
steps 2 - 4 will cause the on_event_start to be executed, one for each
of steps 2-4.
on_event_end
* Type: String
* Range / Valid values: Max 4095 characters
* Default: Not defined
The full path and file name of the program/script to be executed when a
event ends. An event ends after the event_gap has expired. You can use
Conversion Specifiers
<https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#conversion_specifiers>
and spaces as part of the command. This can be any type of program or
script. Remember to set the execution bit in the ACL and if it is a
script type program such as perl or bash also remember the shebang line
(e.g. #!/user/bin/perl) as the first line of the script.
So, my question is why does an on_event_start event get started when I
wget http://mycam:8080/1 or 2 or 3/action/restart after a pause on
everything (i.e., wget http://mycam:8080/0/detection/pause)
Here is a log where I was only using camera number 2

Thank you all. I'll use the normal methods Cron jobs for images & video removal
and logrotate for my logs.

Ok, now understood. I will try to reproduce the issue and get back to you
