Unlikely: he's only running it once per 24 hours.
Adam: when you say you get a "lot more btdownloadcurses running", what
files are they downloading? The same ones multiple times? Completely the
wrong ones?
Like Hugo, I suspect this is running in the wrong directory. Putting a
"cd /path/to/dir" at the start of the file will help. Putting in
debug-type info will help more. Not tested, but something like:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
LOG="/usr/bin/logger -t mycronscript"
cd /to/my/directory
LOG "Starting"
for i in *.torrent
do
LOG "Processing $i"
/usr/bin/btdownloadcurses $i > /dev/null &
done
LOG "Finished"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can, of course, add more LOG statements as required. The LOG
statements will all appear in syslog (or messages or wherever you have
configured those things to go).
