so cron does not seem to work with the user mythtv...
cron is run from runit (who knows why) with all the output piped to /dev/null (useful)
(I am not sure if the is a arch think or a linhes thing but it seems daft to have another process running that runs cron which it designed to run as a daemon)
I removed the runit version and called /etc/rc.d/crond start from /etc/runit/1.local, that's a bit better,still not good though...
So I stopped it and ran it with debug, lots of good stuff and it seems to work with user mythtv, not sure what or why and maybe it was working, but I was trying to run mythfilldatabase since it does not seem to work from the backend. See another post on this problem.
Of course I thought it would be nice to have errors emailed to me but sendmail is not installed or postfix or anything it seems... I did find sendmail.pl <good> but it uses perl libs and they are not installed on linhes <boo>.
All this grief is starting to drive me towards doing my own mythtv box and not using linhes, but I do love the simplicity of the install and running of the box and the fact that most things work most of the time. Compiling stuff is a pain and general development, I have tried to set up a dev area but that seems hard as well, almost like it is done on purpose.
Anyway enough ranting at least mythfilldatabase is working again, now on to the xine freezing when you hit the exit button.
