I have found a better way (better than curl, kill) during my work
with Perl. No killing, one cron job. The script linked to must be set
+x (chmod +x file), and the first line should be set to #!/path/to/
perl (which may be /usr/local/bin/perl or /usr/bin/perl or some other
place. Run "which perl" to find out where it is if it's in your PATH.
Run it thru a cron job, something similar to this:
20 17 * * 3 root /path/to/timeradiodl 3600
http://sample/stream /mnt/music/rip/music
(this starts a record of http://sample/stream out to /mnt/music/rip/
music-date.mp3 on 5:27 PM Local Time on Wed for one hour. Depending
on the system, "root" (the username) may or may not be required to be
there.)
This works flawlessly on my OSX Machine (developed on 10.3.8, works
on 10.4), don't know about linux, but it should work well.

I probably should have used strict, but I was lazy.
