The first thing I'd suggest is to put the full pathname of both the
command and the wav file. Under cron, the PATH variable may not be what
you have interactively:
/usr/bin/pw-record /home/me/crontest.wav (edit as required)
Could someone please do a simple test on any Pipewire
installation
set up to use/replace Jack (or shed any light on this).
If I run 'pw-record crontest.wav' it works fine, as expected.
If I run 'pw-cat 2> errrrr.txt' ditto, of course.
If I setup a user cronjob with 'crontab -e' to run the commands
(at the start of the next minute or so) the first does nothing,
while the second works.
Cron writes to /var/log/syslog like:
CRON[7694]: (john) CMD (pw-record crontest.wav)
rtkit-daemon[1277]: Supervising 7 threads of 4 processes of 1 users
(second line repeated)
