Okay, the user/group issues are understood. By the way, I think there should be a way to run a cron task as root (and have a sudo in your rc script, which is what we do in the stock init script) or as liquidsoap directly. But I don't use cron too often so I can't offer much help here. Regarding the syntax error near "/" in your #! line, I must say that I'm clueless... the rc script that you posted the other is totally unfamiliar to me, I don't know how it calls liquidsoap but it must be doing something wrong. I swear liquidsoap accepts your file or at least the #! line if you run it directly on it using "liquidsoap script.liq"... (Or could it be that you have an empty include or a file that ends with a comment? We had a bug on some weird situations or the sort, it may still be open.) So, I'm not of much help regarding cron and your rc script. But I can try to make you avoid them: are you sure you want to use cron? Why do you need to regularly restart liquidsoap? Most people start liquidsoap by hand (through the rc script or not) once and for all, and it just keeps running as long as needed. > I am very concerned that liquidsoap may never work for me. No need to be so dramatic, you'll make it ;) I think you're trying to do everything at once, but you should go step by step. For now you can run liquidsoap directly (without cron or rc) and that already gives you a stream. Relax and listen to it, then solve the system issues.
