ok now i have another clue... since the first nc runs fine and there is a output and another line is executed well (echo patch) there must be some strange behavior in squeezeplug to the used variables when running under crontab. to check this out please add after > playerID=$(printf "player id $i ?\nexit\n" | nc ${server} ${port} | cut > -d ' ' -f 4 | sed 's/%/%%/g') a line like > echo PlayerID is: $playerID If the output is only PlayerID is: without the id it would proove thats the "failure" if not - fell free to answer. If the output is like that - please alter the script to its former glory (copy direct from this thread) and do the following steps: Code: -------------------- sudo crontab -e "cut the line with the script" and replace by "nothing" crontab -e (without sudo) running as "user" - no # but a ~ in front add the prev cutted line from the roots crontab to "your" crontab. -------------------- I hope that will solve this behavior. cheers Gruss Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DJanGo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99916 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
