Thread: running arecord automatically from inittab


i'd set process automatically run arecord whenever dsr asserted on tty1 , stop when dsr drops. have dc power supply wired rs-232 db9 connector simulate terminal being present whenever pa system i'm recording powered on.

first instinct replace /sbin/getty in inittab process (shell script) yet written.

ideas how you'd approach this? background ranges audio production, hardware design, software development including unix flavors. level of geekiness welcome in suggestions.

1 obstacle i've run before drivers audio interface (lexicon alpha) don't seem available unless console logged in. i've got running on karmic koala using crontab , console locked. desire record anytime pa turned on. i'd rather not need have console logged in. maybe limitation gone in natty, i'm moving now???

thanks!
