install.sh clears user's entire crontab

[philcryer]

this is fixed, as per this commit:

lipsync/install.sh

Line 153 in ee817c1

(crontab -l; echo "$newcronjob") | crontab -u $username - #list crontab, read entry from crontab, add line from stdin to crontab

thanks!

This still happens if install.sh is run as root. This is because it sets the target user's crontab to the current user's crontab with the line appended. The target user's contab may disappear or otherwise be modified in unexpected ways if the current user is root.

(crontab -l; echo "$newcronjob") | crontab -u $username - #list crontab, read entry from crontab, add line from stdin to crontab

should therefore be

(crontab -u $username -l; echo "$newcronjob") | crontab -u $username - #list crontab, read entry from crontab, add line from stdin to crontab
