I cannot run vlc with cron.
Is it possible?

I have vlc 0.7.0 on Debian woody.

When I try in crontab:

*/1 * * * * root /usr/bin/vlc -v /video/test_ch1.mpg
--noosd --sout udp://239.255.1.31 --ttl 12
1>/venoa/vlc.debug 2>&1

vlc.debug has next content:

vlc.debug is created, but no content (empty).
In both cases vlc is not running.

Please advice.

Best regards,

Vlad
