Detecting start of recordings

[mihaid]

The hmt not found messages are not much help since it is not clear what process couldn't find them, when or why it was even looking since many seem to be for files in the dustbin!

One way to put some information into the log so that you have some clue as to when the other message occur is create a small executable file in the recmon.d directory, name is not important e.g. /mod/etc/recmon.d/logit

#!/mod/bin/jimsh
puts "[clock format [clock seconds] -format "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S"] : $argv"
return

That will give you a time stamped message at the start and end of every recording

create a new file, call it logit as in your example, copy inside it the code . would that be the way to do it?

edit:
done it, now how do you actually read the log?
