raspivid and cron - Raspberry Pi Forums

hello,

want set video surveillance recording following tutorial:
http://www.instructables.com/id/stand-a ... h-raspber/

script executes raspivid working perfectly, problem cron, after setting "crontab -e" doesn't start "record.sh" script. if start manually script working.
"crontab -e" part following:
*/15 * * * * sudo sh /home/pi/record.sh >> /home/pi/video.log 2>&1
* */1 * * * sudo find /mnt/video/* -mmin +360 -exec rm -f {} \; >> /home/pi/video.log 2>&1

think wrong there? bellow ps aux cron:
root 352 0.0 0.2 5288 2468 ? ss 21:27 0:00 /usr/sbin/cron -f
root 1226 0.0 0.0 4368 532 pts/1 s+ 21:44 0:00 grep cron

well, first of instructable written thinks need sudo every command.
afaict none of these necessary...

how know script not started? have checked log file?
can't tell journal, lines starting / not starting first script ones before ones can see in status check.
add echo line in first script; should show in video log file.
should use full paths programs , other files in scripts. cannot assume in path when script runs (especially when running them user, root).
