I don't know how to trigger scripts when a recording starts, and managing sequential recordings would be a problem because you could end up with a race condition. It would be easier to use a cron job that parses http://localhost:6544/xml once per minute and looks for the appropriate tuner status: $ lynx -dump http://localhost:6544/xml | head -n 5 <!DOCTYPE Status> <Status version="0.18.1.20050510-1" protoVer="15" time="6:15 AM" date="11/22/2005" > <Encoders count="1" > <Encoder local="1" connected="1" id="1" state="0" lowOnFreeSpace="0" hostname="linuxbox" /> </Encoders> You would want to look for the appropriate "Encoder" record and toggle the external program based on the state field. -- Joke template: Three guys walk into a bar. One of them is a wee bit stupid, and the whole scene unfolds with a tedious inevitability.
