Hello all, I'm writing this for a friend who is Linux saavy, but not a member of this list, nor a "sound guy." He needs an audio application that will record for a specific amount of time, say, for 4 hours, without user intervention. He needs to be able to say, begin recording conference at 9:00 AM and stop at 4:00 PM and walk away without ever thinking about it again. I'm familiar with all of the basic sound apps (Audacity), but I am completely stumped when it comes to the timer aspect of his request. Anyone have any ideas?
