Bash script launched by cron on OpenBSD not working

In the pink world of Ubuntu from where I come, things are easy, and PATH variable is fully set in each context.
But in the dark world of OpenBSD, things aren't always obvious ;)

If you decide to write a bash script intended to be used as a cron task, DO NOT forget to fully qualify path of non standard commands :
e.g. zip or smbclient should be written as /usr/local/bin/zip and /usr/local/bin/smbclient.

Hope it could save time for others...

Connect the Xiaomi Yi Ants Cam to your Synology Surveillance Station

1) Ensure the current firmware of your cam allows you to see the steam without authentication. You can check this using vlc and connecting to rtsp://192.168.1.128:554/ch0_0.h264 If you are able to see the stream, you can go to the next point.

TXT_DB error number 2 failed to update database

As I m completly unaware of the openssl use, I only write here some observations I made : If after the command : openssl ca -out cert.pem -infiles req.pem you got the following error message : failed to update database TXT_DB error number 2 This is probably because you have generated your own signing certificate with the same Common Name (CN) information that the CA certificate that you've generated before. Simply input a different Common Name each time you are asked should do the trick. Credit : 1
