Error with work in bash script

[axsapronov]

Hi all,

I have bash script:

#!/bin/bash

QUEUE_DIR=~/Dropbox/IFTTT/youtube-dl/*.txt
VIDEO_DIR=~/Video/Youtube/
shopt -s nullglob

for queue_file in $QUEUE_DIR
do
    video_url=`cat "$queue_file"`;
    echo "$queue_file : $video_url";
    mv "$queue_file" "${queue_file}.in_proccess";
    youtube-dl --default-search "ytsearch" -o "$VIDEO_DIR%(title)s.%(ext)s" "$video_url" && mv "${queue_file}.in_proccess" "${queue_file}.success"; 
    rm -f "${queue_file}.success";
done

(in txt lines - urls to videos)

and cronline , for example

• * * * * bash path_to_bash_file

This script used to work. But now is not working. He runs, renames files, and then exits without error. If I run the script manually, everything works fine.

Youtube-dl stopped working in background?

Post the output with the --verbose option and explain with detail what's your exact problem.

I run this line

youtube-dl --verbose -o test.mp4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNfTaN76kBk&feature=youtube_gdata  >> log_file.log

If i run manualy, i have get file. But if run this line with crontab (in bash file)...i don't have file and logs.

Magic!

Redirect stderr and stdout to log file by changing cron task to * * * * * path_to_bash_file >> path_to_log_file 2>&1 and check out the log.

Wow!
I got this error:

....dropbox_youtube_dl.sh: line 21: youtube-dl: command not found

but i have youtube-dl:

> youtube-dl                                                                                              
Usage: youtube-dl [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]

youtube-dl: error: You must provide at least one URL.
Type youtube-dl --help to see a list of all options.

Thanks! Now the problem can be solved (cron does not see local bin's)
