Please add any idea / comment / code sample here
I (kimaidou) copy/paste the comments I had on the community mailing list
change framerate + mono
I think 44100 Hz is overkill for something like this. 8 kHz ought to be enough and would save a lot of disk space. I would have also suggested a mono recording, but I'm not sure that is supported.
--> the solution is just the man :) man page
enable job control
You should use "kill %1" instead, this will only kill the instance you just started (and TERM is the default). For that, you need to enable job control (set -m) + remove the &
Result :
#!/bin/bash
# Exit on error
# Enable job control
set -em
zenity --question --title="Voice-note" --text="Click Validate to START recording"; gostart=$?
if [ "$gostart" = 1 ]
then
echo "Operation canceled"
exit 1
else
echo "Recording..."
