Okay this one is driving me nuts.
I've got my local myth user configured to use mythfilldatabase with
tv_grab_au. If I run this manually from the command line as mythtv, it
works fine.
I configure up my crontab to run the same job:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ crontab -l
00 23 * * * /usr/local/bin/mythfilldatabase
It was set to run once a day early in the morning (but it's 11:00p for
testing purposes).
When I check my mythweb status, it says mythfilldatabase last failed
and I verify this with the guide still not having the correct data.
I set up the crontab to pipe the output to a file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ crontab -l
00 23 * * * /usr/local/bin/mythfilldatabase >
/var/log/mythfilldatabase.log
and in that log, the next day:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] :~$ cat /var/log/mythfilldatabase.log

That's all I see, no reason for a failure. My Crontab log shows it is
running as the correct user:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/mythtv# cat /var/log/cron.1
/usr/sbin/crond 2.3.3 dillon, started, log level 8
USER mythtv pid 18998 cmd /usr/local/bin/mythfilldatabase
Is there some environment variable I need to set within the cron job
itself?
Thanks

I was getting an error when mythbackend ran mythfilldatabase. In the log
I found...
config file //.mythtv/au.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure
The problem was that the 'HOME' environment variable is not defined.
To fix it in /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend
Add the following line
HOME=/home/mythtv
directly after
DESC="MythTV server"
Now, you might need to do something similar? Just a guess...
