That won't work if you want to update /etc/motd with the mythtv-status output and as all the cron job does is calling /etc/init.d/mythtv-status you probably have to just call mythtv-status as 'mythtv' and let the rest be run as root. On the other hand I think the init.d script is a bit strange. Why doi you need an init.d script when you usually are calling it from cron?
-- mythtv-status should be run as the same user as mythtv https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237564 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
