I love the redhat implementation of cron, simply drop a shell script into /etc/cron.daily/ and your script will be executed every day (by default at 4am).

Recently I’ve been having a small problem with mediatomb, further investigation lead me to a “Inotify thread caught exception” error which can be fixed by recursively resetting your file permissions.

What I have done to fix the issue is save the following code as /etc/cron.daily/fix_mt.sh and ‘jobs a gooden’

Looking through the my yum updates for the day I notice that mediatomb is set for an update, is this the version 0.11 with transcoding we’ve all been waiting for? Sadly no, but it is a fedora build for the default repo - YAY

A big thanks to mwiriadi for this!
