I am doing this little experiment in cron, but not able to make it work.
I want cron to play a certain mp3 file at a certain time. So I add the
usual time parameters and add the following to the command field:
/usr/bin/ffplay <path to my mp3 file>
But cron mails me an error which I have attached as text file.
I also tried "/bin/bash /usr/bin/ffplay <path to my mp3 file>" but it
does not work.
Where am I going wrong?
When I simply give the following command from terminal, it plays the
file:
ffplay <mp3 file>

I'd like to setup a mailing list for my college discussion. For now, it
needs to be a private / closed mailing list. Does anyone know where I could
set one up or if any site offers free this for free? Maximum number of
members is 15 - 20.
There's freelists, but it publicly lists the conversations

Hello,
Several attempts are required to get online with my Reliance NetConnect
modem on Karmic Koala. The connection usually drops without connecting at
all, or after a half hour or so. On Jaunty Jackalope, the modem connects
without problems (using wvdial). Request help with this gross net loss.
Please let me know if you need additional info.
