Re: [Motion-user] external script not executed

Thanks Andrew,

This is even more strange than I told: this morning, I remembered
that playing many many times with vlc can fool a bit the X system.
So I made other test after just machine boot:

It worked.... ONE TIME: the 1st time, everything's ok, vlc is killed,
BUT after that no way!!! (well, every 1st time is working)

I also compiled it (strange, the expanded directory made is 3.2.6, but
the generated package is 3.2.5-1)
Same problem.

I took a look on the source, but there's nothing wrong AFAIK:
the 'on_event_start' and 'on_event_end' have the same structures.

I now suspect a variable crush (may be the string containing the
command for 'on_event_end' is rewrited because of lack of malloc()
or something like that.)

Unfortunately, my C is far away and I haven't got many time to
play with it :(

I'm gonna just try to printf() the command string to the screen
when it is called.

Jean-Yves

ord audio and kill it in the same way. The same problem you described occ=
urred to me too.  One quick thought off the top of my head is that Motion=
 may be 'intercepting' the kill signal? Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
