[linux-audio-user] Re: Recording internet radio using MPlayer

Thanks for all the help,

        Paul hit the nail on the head. Mplayer likes an interactive shell. Changing
the redirection of output streams helped me fix the problem:

Here is my new crontab that works:
0 22 * * 1-5 /home/xxxxxx/scripts/radio2 >> /dev/null 2>&1
5 2 * * 1-5 killall -9 mplayer >> /dev/null 2>&1

Thanks for the help everyone,
Kevin
