zmfilter.pl failure.

Post by odror »

OS: Ubuntu 13.10
ZM: 1.26.5

My HD is 100% full. zmfilter.pl fails.

In the syslog I get:
Apr 1 14:41:16 my_machine zmdc[26567]: INF [Starting pending process, zmfilter.pl]
Apr 1 14:41:16 my-machine zmdc[26567]: INF ['zmfilter.pl' starting at 14/04/01 14:41:16, pid = 3671]
Apr 1 14:41:16 my_machine zmdc[3671]: INF ['zmfilter.pl' started at 14/04/01 14:41:16]
Apr 1 14:41:16 my_machine zmdc[26567]: ERR ['zmfilter.pl ' exited abnormally, exit status 9]
Ap
WHen running "sudo zmfilter.pl" I get
Bareword "ZM_DIR_EVENTS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl line 54.
Bareword "ZM_DIR_EVENTS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl line 54.
Bareword "ZM_PATH_WEB" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl line 54.
Bareword "ZM_DIR_EVENTS" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl line 54.
Execution of /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
Any help with workaround will be appreciated

Thanks

If Zoneminder is working (I imagine that isn't), stop it, open all events, sort them by date and delete the oldest ones, as a rule of thumb, let's say you have 2000 events, and imagine that your server gets 15% of the hard disk capacity. If 2000 events is 85%, deleting about 200 events will free about 8.5%, isn't it?

Hope it helps,

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...
