cron output?
 

hi, i have a perl script that rips an audio stream and i wanted to cron this script for every hour. so just to test it out i tried running it every minute, but the output that the script was supposed to do didn't seem to be happening (it creates a folder witht the current day and rips the stream and names it by hour or minute in this case). does cron somehow supress this output or am i just using cron wrong? the script works perfect when called from command line

How are you using cron?

When crete your job write it like this:
/path/to/myscript 2>&1 > /var/log/myscript.log

This logs stderr and stdout to the log file /var/log/myscript.log

cool, trying that right now

and here ist he crontab entry

0-59 * * * * ~/programs/perl/stream_ripper/stream_ripper.pl 2>&1 > /var/log/stream_rip.log
