One of my cameras didn't capture anything last night().
Took a bit of digging, but it turned out that DeleteOldObservations.py
crashed on line 367 where it tries to remove an old log file. There's no
try/except around that action, and in this case the action failed,
leaving the capture process hung.
*
This is a bit odd, as line 358 has already tested that the file exists, so either another process has purged it, or the file is readonly. We can put a try/except round it but this could leave unpurged log files. Need more info on the issue ideally.
