Cant get mjpg_streamer to run in the background

[tdrakehi]

Subject line about says it all. have been completely unable to get the mjpg_streamer to run in daemon mode. This is how things normally run:

./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -r CIF -f 5" -o "./output_http.so -p 8080"
MJPG Streamer Version.: 2.0
i: Using V4L2 device.: /dev/video0
i: Desired Resolution: 352 x 288
i: Frames Per Second.: 5
i: Format............: MJPEG
o: www-folder-path...: disabled
o: HTTP TCP port.....: 8080
o: username:password.: disabled
o: commands..........: enabled

If I add the -b background fork option, this is what it does:

./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -r CIF -f 5" -o "./output_http.so -p 8080" -b
enabling daemon mode[Tim@localhost mjpg-streamer-r63]$ forked to background (7857)

But that PID does not have any attached processes.

Any idea on places that I can check for log info or debug info or something that might have happened that I could reverse to get it to run? I downloaded and compiled the most recent version of the uvc_stream program, and it runs perfectly fine in the background, but the resolution is too low. Any help whatsoever would be great.

Try to open another terminal and there run
tail -f /var/log/messages
and then at the first terminal run the mjpg_streamer in background.
it will tell you what happens.
