I've been testing this out and can't find an obvious solution but I do have some suggestions.
First your script runs excessively while inside the loop so it would be wise to add a sleep 20 or 30 as surely you don't need to check the time as fast as humanly possible and keep sending out LC messages? Furthermore, I'm not sure if this is a quirk of my dev setup or whether this is the issue you're facing. Test this with a simple script: #!/bin/bash rmlsend LC\ green\ "TEST"\! echo TEST >> /home/rd/scripts/im_alive What I've found is that the rmlsend is not being sent/received however the im_alive file is getting updated with each click. If I get the chance I'll get into a studio and see if its the same problem. As you mentioned, if you run the script manually (outside of Riv) then everything works fine. Its almost as if its some sort of permissions problem but its a weird one either way. I also believe there is a Rivendell cron timer you can hook into for repeated scripts so it may be worth looking at that rather than having a sleeping script.
