Subject: regulating the time a process can run with crontab?
Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2001 22:59:16 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.20011227225916.0082e9d0@mail.doorpi.net> (raw)
Suppose I want to use the lynx --source option to record an mp3 stream
that will start at a certain time, and I want to stop it at a certain time.
I could start it with a cron entry, in a script, but how in such a script
would I cause lynx to terminate, assuming the mp3 stream never quits?
There's no way of telling lynx --source how much to get if this is in the
background.
Thanks.
