delayed or timed recording

[Cheryl Homiak]

Well, "sleep" seems to work. Is there any reason that would end up being 
unreliable? You can also specify different time units; it doesn't have to 
be seconds and the units (seconds, minutes, days and hours) can be used 
cumulatively.
Arecord also has a switch for sleep but  it didn't seem to work when I 
tried it.
Hmm, if this works ok with sleep, one could write a script and program all 
of the routine program recordings for the week as long as one  didn't 
reboot. which is so obvious I imagine somebody has already done it.
I just ran a script to record with a 2 minute 20 second sleep and timed it 
and it was fine so I think this will work.
