Wrong, and sorry for the churn.
The following:
on_movie_end echo -e "Subject: Motion detected \n\n%f \nFile size: $(stat -c
%s %f)" | sendmail -v [email protected] > /dev/null 2>&1
sent an email with two lines:
/mnt/exports/motion//01-20200810095504.mkv
File size: 1597017367
However:
$ stat -c %s /mnt/exports/motion//01-20200810095504.mkv
2471638
That is, my on_movie_end line sent the wrong file size when stat was used.
This is not the case with ls:
on_movie_end echo -e "Subject: Motion detected \n\n$(ls -hs1 %f)" | sendmail
-v [email protected] > /dev/null 2>&1
Emails the correct file size.
I'm happy with ls, just weird, that's all.
Thanks.

Subject: [Motion-user] Delay between an event and it being displayed
on the web UI

Hi,
I have Motion running for now on my desktop PC, but I intend to run it
eventually on a single-board computer (UDOO x86).
So far, I barely see any CPU usage from Motion, and yet I observe a
growing delay before the image is shown on the web UI (`?/1/stream` and
`?/1/motion`).
After launching Motion, I have an already-important delay of more than
50 seconds.
5 minutes later, I see a delay of 1 minute and a quarter, which seems
to stabilize.
I am concerned about this delay. What is the cause?
Will it grow if I add a second camera?
Will it grow if I run Motion on the lower-powered server instead of the
desktop PC?
But more importantly, does it mean, that an intruder, seeing the
presence of a video-camera, has a full minute to switch the power off,
before any picture is captured (and sent to the ?Cloud?)?
For reference, here is my setup:
```
# motion.conf
on_event_end /?/email.sh %$ %v %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
on_picture_save /?/upload.sh "%f"
minimum_motion_frames 5
event_gap 10
picture_output on
picture_quality 50
picture_filename %$-%v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S-%q@%K_%L
movie_output off
webcontrol_port 1080
webcontrol_localhost off
webcontrol_parms 3
stream_port 1081
stream_localhost off
camera /?/cam1.conf
# cam1.conf
camera_id 1
camera_name cuisine
stream_preview_method 3
netcam_url rtsp://?/videoMain
mask_file /?/masque_640_360.pgm
