Problem with cron - rmcellig - 01-06-2015

I have Linuxlite 2.2 installed on a Dell 3000 desktop with 2GB of RAM. When I went to the terminal and typed crontab -e, I used nano to setup my cronjob:

Code:
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/arecord -t wav -f cd -d 44 /home/randy/Music/test.wav

This works fine except that there is no audio. When I run this from the terminal, everything works fine.

Code:
/usr/bin/arecord -t wav -f cd -d 44 /home/randy/Music/test.wav

Any ideas why it is not working from Cron? What can I try out and post back?

Thanks!!!

Hi Rmcellig,

Until somebody responds with better information, here's an Ubuntu resource I've used in the past, maybe there's some information there that can help.

Thanks Scott! I'll take a look.
