just wrote a script to kill live eyetv:
#! /usr/bin/env python
from appscript import *
app(u'/Applications/EyeTV.app').window[its.name.startswith('EyeTV')].close()
and it works great fom the cli, but not in crontab:
Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /DVR/scripts/noLiveEyeTV.py
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=dvr>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=dvr>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/Users/dvr>

obviously a path problem:
wiblesdvr:~ dvr$ ls -l `which python`
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 9 Jun 9 2007
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python -> python2.5
wiblesdvr:~ dvr$ echo $PATH
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
and crontab's python:
wiblesdvr:~ dvr$ export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
wiblesdvr:~ dvr$ ls -l `which python`
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Jul 24 2006 /usr/bin/python -> python2.3
wiblesdvr:~ dvr$ ls -l /usr/bin/py*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 44 Jan 13 2006 /usr/bin/pydoc
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Jul 24 2006 /usr/bin/python -> python2.3
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 72 Jul 24 2006 /usr/bin/python2.3 ->
../../System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/python
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Jul 24 2006 /usr/bin/pythonw -> pythonw2.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 34216 Jan 13 2006 /usr/bin/pythonw2.3
so how come /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current is
different from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current?
should i fix that, or will that break other stuff?
