Cron problem?
I use a small wav file which sounds like an old wallclock dong for
sounding the number of hours, using cron. When played manually, it
plays fine (I use the "play" utility toplay it from cron), but from cron,
the sound output is very distorted. Even if nothing else is running on the
system, it's distorted. It wasn't distorted when I had put it in cron.
After a few days this has happened but I can't figure out what makes the
sound distorted. Playing the same file manually doesn't make the sound
distorted. I have plenty of memory and running top I can see nothing much
is taking any cpu time. Wierd. What could it be?
Regards,
Deboo
