[MPlayer-users] Re: recording radio with cron

[Hugo González Monteverde]

What's $HOME supposed to be for crond? What if you hardcode the three 
parameters just for testing. As mplayer says nothing about the output 
file, we have no clue if that's the problem. Sometimes weird stuff 
happens... the only difference between you and crond is the usename and 
the environment...
