You use a separate script which sends a kill signal to lynx. This would call a script that either looks up the pid of your lynx process or identifies it from your original script. For example the first line in your script could be: echo $$ > $HOME/.recordingpid the second script would execute: kill -9 `cat $HOME/.recordingpid` Rudy On Thu, Dec 27, 2001 at 10:59:16PM -0600, Brent Harding wrote: > 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. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
