Comment 2 for bug 604169

I have a headless Ubuntu server running v10.10 plus 2 cameras.
Motion runs OK from the command line with 2 cameras. It crashes when started as a daemon process.

When run from the command line, it is run as user <me>. When run as a daemon process it is run as user <motion>.
<me> is a member of<motion> group so it shouldn't matter. Motion also runs OK from the command line with <sudo>. I am just pointing this out because it is the only obvious difference between running from the CLI and running a daemon process.

Output from my syslog is below:
