Remote recording from comand line

Hello all.

I’d like to start recording from a remote command line using the start and stop times.


Does Audacity have that option?

A speaker starts at 9:45 using the microphone in the middle of his event and I’d like to start recording at 9:40 and stop at 10:30 without having to manually type any commands.

Either ssh into the PC at 8:30 and run the command and then Audacity does the job of recording and saving to the PC or use crontab to run the script.


Thanks
Jason

Audacity supports automation via mod-script-pipe (See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/scripting.html), though as you are on Linux, a much easier approach would be to use arecord, parec, SoX, or some other command line recorder.

Another possible alternative is to use Audacity’s “Timer Record” feature: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/timer_record.html
