Have a cron script that restarts vdr. However, I have configured vdr to use nice level -5. When the cron script restarts vdr, the nice value is at 5! Does not happen upon manual restart. Reproducible: Always
What does your cron script look like?
#!/bin/bash set -e || exit 1 exec >> /var/log/restart_vdr_to_save_epgdata.log exec 2>&1 set -v set -x set -o pipefail date maxage=36000 epgf=/scratch/vdr/epg.data minnextrel=300 # update epg.data file (if it exists) not more often than every 10 hours # (well, actually, I don't want vdr to be restarted more often than that...) if [[ -e "$epgf" ]]; then age=$(( $(date +%s) - $(stat -c %Y "$epgf") )) (( age <= maxage )) && exit 0 fi # make sure we aren't recording something right now nextrel=$(echo -e "next rel\nquit" | netcat localhost 2001 | grep ^250 | perl -ne '/^250\s+\S+\s+(\S+)/&&print $1') || nextrel=$minnextrel (( nextrel < minnextrel )) && exit 0 /etc/init.d/vdr restart exit 0
Please reopen if gentoo-vdr-scripts-0.4.9 or newer is still affected.
