               This script (RemoteRecord.rexx) provides:
               =========================================

- Timer recordings with AHIRecord. You can set one or more times and it
  will start the record automatically. No need for being in front of
  your computer.
- Record duration is adjustable in minutes (e.g. a 2 hours radio mix)
- Possibility to encode the recorded sample autmatically (only tested
  with lame but should run with other encoder too).
- Documentation inside script ;-)

For more help please consult AHIRecord/encoder docs for settings/options.
Contact me if you have questions or suggestions.

Problem/Warning:
================

This depends on your System (harddiks controller, filesystem, OS) so
check it out first before get in trouble!

The 2GB or 4GB (maybe no limit) single file border. I don`t know what
happens if AHIRecord writes above 2GB/4GB. I recommend to test a <=60
minutes record first. A 3 hours sample (16 bit 44kHz stereo) is about
1,9GB! Solution: split in smaller parts e.g. two 120 minutes. This works
fine with a really small gap. Or reduce sample quality.

History:
========

V1.3

NEW - Add some output for better information.

V1.2

NEW - Two arguments added (times and TIMER).
      Template: "rx RemoteRecord.rexx <times> [<TIMER>]"
      At the moment only one time for <times> is supported. E.g.:
      "rx RemoteRecord.rexx 20:30 120"
      This will overwrite the settings for times and TIMER in the script.
      It is possible to add more arguments but I don`t need them. So, you
      have to ask me to add other arguments.
      
      
V1.1

NEW - Now it is possible to send the recorded sample to SoundFX for
      further processing.

CHANGED - Script exit if TIMER was set to 0. Now I starts AHIRecord
          without recording.
        - Script exit if SoundFX can`t load. Now it don`t exit and print
          a error message. No more EXIT include.
        - Some code cleanup.

V1.0 Initial release
