[Motion-user] SOLVED! Now I have a new problem....Re: NOW changed to how attach file in command line e-mail Re: Problem with sending e-mail after event

[John S. <joh...@gm...>]

OK, if you wait long enough I will answer my own question.  So, it should
have been obvious, but the samples I was lookging at must have been missing
something, but now it works:

on_movie_end /usr/local/etc/mail_file.sh %f

sends me the avi file after it is done.  Now, how can I get the avi files to
stop playing like they are at double speed?

Thanks,

John
