[Motion-user] newbie question :file output

[Richard B. <ri...@g8...>]

Hi ,
I'm new to motion, nice app:)
these lines will wrap , sorry
# Command to be executed when a movie file (.mpg|.avi) is created. (default: none)
# To give the filename as an argument to a command append it with %f
;on_movie_start echo ["Camera detection" %d/%m/%Y  %H:%M:%S--%v] | mailx -s "Movement Detected
%d/%m/%Y  %H:%M:%S" -a  /Files/motion-pics/%d-%m-%Y_%H:%M.avi  ri...@g8...
 this line works,
but doesn't send a file as it hasn't been written so every time 7674 bytes are sent, but it gets
delivered.

# Command to be executed when a movie file (.mpg|.avi) is closed. (default: none)
# To give the filename as an argument to a command append it with %f
on_movie_end value  echo "Camera detection" | mailx -s "Movement Detected %d/%m/%Y  %H:%M:%S" -a
%f /Files/motion-pics/%d-%m-%Y_%H:%M-%v.avi ri...@g8...

This line should , but doesn't, I think it should as the file should have been written.
I'm trying to get the video file off on to my mailserver, so if the webcam/ computer, ( modified
pogoplug), is damaged /stolen the evidence is safe

Can you help with getting this working please, I've tied with using %f as well but it makes no
differenvce
Thanks
