Well, it works. Thansk for all the tips. The problem is the batch option. For some reason -b doesn't work for me but -B and --batch do. So, there is no need for "nice" or changing priorities for at. The environment for at is also okay. (well, in my case). Just to make things clear I have attache

You'd have to run the 'nice' via a shell script. I'm fairly certain that if you had a shell script that kicked off lavrec, within it, you could call 'renice -n 10 $$' or start lavrec with 'nice -n 10 lavrec', and it would get started appropriately. Also, I thought that lavrec made some attempts t

I once had problems with 'at' versus 'cron'. Cron jobs worked fine, at jobs didn't. Tured out that it was a priority issue. By default 'at' starts jobs with a low priority. Try putting the jobs in a higher que with at -q: (from 'man at') Queues with higher letters run with increased nicen

Should "at" execute the lavrec command with exact the priority as when you start directly from commandline? And another thing, I have a 2.4.20 kernel patched with the set from Con Colivas. But I don't know if that makes a difference for at. Oh, and xfs filesystem, but that matter for "at" either

Hi all. Can anyone explain me why lavrec doesn't work very well with the "at" command? It doesn't matter if I use a script with a lavrec command or if I use the lavrec command directly with at. Lavrec does exactly what I want except scheduling a capture doesn't work. (very well) Thanks, Dirk
