Hello,
I have Motion working but it records videos on each movement detection. I'd
like to stop this recording and I tried to stop motion, but even with all
the commands I found in guides and web, motion continues to record.
Is there somewhere a good guide for motion.conf and use of commands stop
and start ?
Many thanks in advance if you can help me.
Kind regards,
Pierre

Without a lot of details on the situation, I am assuming that motion is
running as a service. With that assumption, the command line command to
stop would be
sudo service motion stop
To restart motion
sudo service motion start
Moreover motion only looks at motion.conf file at the start. If motion is
running and you edit motion.conf and want to use the changes, stop motion
and then start it up again using the service stop, start or
sudo motion restart

Hi Pierre,
Recording videos on each movement is kinda what motion is for.
I see another possible way of thinking in what you wrote, If you don't
want movies, and instead only want screenshots, then look in motion.conf
for
# Create movies of motion events.
movie_output on
and change it to off.

I have found these links in the motion-project docs to be of great help:
Enabling and disabling motion detection:
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#OptDetail_Motion_Detection
What commands to put into scripts
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#OptDetail_Scripts
Controlling some functionality via web
