I tried some of the zmalter script and started getting errors on the second one: linux:/zm-1.20.1/db # mysql zm < zmalter-1.17.1.sql -u admin -p Enter password: ERROR 1091 at line 8: Can't DROP 'ImagePath'. Check that column/key exists linux:/zm-1.20.1/db # mysql zm < zmalter-1.17.1.sql -u admin -p ...

Running version 0.9.16 How do run zmalter? I get an error when running: linux:/zm-1.20.1/db # ./zmalter-0.9.16.sql ./zmalter-0.9.16.sql: line 1: --: command not found ./zmalter-0.9.16.sql: line 2: --: command not found ./zmalter-0.9.16.sql: line 3: --: command not found ./zmalter-0.9.16.sql: line 4 ...

I currently have 0.9.16 build from source and updating from source, Since I'm using SUSE source was my only option. Thanks for your help. Even just some syntax as to what commands I want to run would help push me in the right directions.

I've read through the instructions and there are no real update instructions I can find, Only some verbage in the install procedure. Can someone point me to a step by step update doc? Or should I uninstall and install the new version, I couldn't find any uninstall instructions either. Please help.

The function is built right into ZM, see this thread. No need to use these scripts if the filter works.

Nice, you may want to add that to the FAQ, I search clean, autoclean and archive and couldn't find anything about the purge script. I don't see this is v0.9.16 guess that really old, Any way to manually create one? How's the update path from this version to the latest?

What version is this in? Do you have a sample script by chance? Or Step by step instructions??

Thx

I know some people have contributed this type of system, however I haven't had an automatic process work, I just wite a script to delete event files X days older than today and them do a ZMaudit manually. Is there anything in the works to have ZM take care of cleanup internally?

Can you tell me more about how this should work? What happens after the limit is reached, How much does it take off the HD to prevent the system from going into a loop of cleaning the the data files. I tried to do a test and it seemed to also freak out. Is there any way to debug so I can see what it ...

Still it seems to have the same development tools and libs, it is the Kernel that might give me the problem?

I thought I'd throw this out there. I know OS X is linux based and I was wondering if anyone has tried to install ZM on a mac?

Looks like I'm on the self help line here. This link really helps. You may want to Pin or add to FAQ page.

Is there a way to see what the stats are on the alarmed frame, This would really help me set thresholds.

Minimum blob pixels.... I trying to adjust a zones alarm threshold because of a lighting issue. I don't have fields labeled minimul alarm pixels or blob pixles. Can someone let me know what fields this is refering to? ZM: You may want to make the error a little more clear.

I'm using Axis 2110 camera at 640x480? It seems to work ok with /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480 I was wondering if this was the optimal path to use. Also I have some low light conditions that I'm trying to overcome, I have the image working good now but ever minute or so a light ...

Is there a way to make Zoneminder starup and have the processes running at startup of the computer?

Is there an easy way to automate the deletion of older events? I've run a cron job to delete files and then run zmaudit to purge the database. I was thinking theirs might be a better way to do this.
