JustRecord : a tool to record

For many years, we’re using various tools to perform long recordings : record (from xawtools), an home-patched jack-record, arecord+split, rotter, etc.

To record Esperanzah lives or Forum PHP 2007 conferences, we used our ugly (but efficient) arecord+split script. But it’s really a tool which can be shared with other teams.

So we’ve just started a dedicated tool to perform long recordings : JustRecord. These few lines of python can record in loop via alsa, run as daemon, log with syslog and execute an external script when a file is ended, etc. Tiny but usefull ;-) And many features will follow.
