Re: [RDD] Scheduler automation
Hi Chris, Yes, we had this scheduled to generate the log four days ahead of time, in order to stay well-ahead in case someone needed to be gone for a few days. Our cron job ran at 21:18 local time which was (hopefully) a quiet time for other production activity. Here's the cron entry. Never encountered any issues with X Windows getting in the way. 18 21 * * * /usr/bin/rdlogmanager -g -s WKRP -d 3 Steve On Mon, Aug 22, 2022 at 04:49:42PM +, chris cottingham wrote: > Has anyone been able to automate scheduler/log generation?

Re: [RDD] Scheduler automation
I use a short bash script to create logs three days out. It runs every night. I go a couple days out so people can check the day before to see if they need to fix anything. [rd@khrb_rd1 ~]$ crontab -l 20 02 * * * /home/rd/scripts/LogGen.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 [rd@khrb_rd1 ~]$ less /home/rd/scripts/LogGen.sh #!/bin/bash # Create RD logs for 3rd day # change after -s to export DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/rdlogmanager -g -s KHRB -d 2 exit 0 /home/rd/scripts/LogGen.sh (END) HTH, Michael chris cottingham wrote on 8/22/22 9:49 AM: Has anyone been able to automate scheduler/log generation?

Re: [RDD] Scheduler automation
Take a look at: http://wiki.rivendellaudio.org/index.php/Creating_logs_from_the_command_line The page discusses the X Windows display issue while running it as a crontab also ... In my specific case I have a service of KRHJ so I use: DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/bin/rdlogmanager -g -s KRHJ Takes a couple minutes to create the run log for the next day.

[RDD] Scheduler automation
Has anyone been able to automate scheduler/log generation? If so, how? I want to autogenerate the next days logs at a specific time each day. I would really like to know how to script it into a cron job or something similar. Thanks!!

Re: [RDD] RDImport question
I think it only looks in the folder specified. We have several different folders for different types of audio, just make a new dropbox rule for each folder, then whenever audio is copied into that folder, it should get picked up. If you have told Rivendell to convert from MP3 to WAV then it will do that too. --- Kind regards, David Henderson TD9 Radio - Community Radio for Hawick www.td9radio.online www.twitter.com/TD9Radio www.facebook.com/TD9Radio TD9 Radio is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) - registered with OSCR - SC051870. ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
[RDD] RDImport question
Will rdimport traverse sub folders? Do I need to have all the audio I want to import in the root of the import folder? It’s my understanding that rdimport will import mp3 files and read the metadata. It will also “wrap” the imported mp3 files as a “wav” file. Is this true as well? Thanks!!
