Nginx+RTMP setups with USB camera

Basically, I connected a USB camera with Video4Linux 2 installed in ubuntu box. The camera is working with VLC:

vlc v4l2:///dev/video0

also I can save the camera stream with ffmpeg by:

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -c:v libx264 -an -f flv MY_FLV.flv

I added following lines in rtmp section of nginx.conf file: 

application webcam {                                                                   
        live on;                                                  
        record off;                                                   
        exec_static ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -c:v libx264 -an -f flv rtmp://localhost/webcam/live;                                              
 }

when I run nginx with rtmp, there is no stream out, could you please give me some ideas on this issue? Thank you in advance.

My bad, just need to put absolute path for ffmpeg

exec_static /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i ...

it works like charm...
