[SOLVED] Question about recordings in progress for a script

[jb]

Hi.

I would like to know how can I make a conditional sentence to know if there are some recording in progress. Like:

If (Recording in progress)??? then;
   do things
else
   do else things
fi


It is to prevent an unmount of an external hard disk in order to check it, when a recording is in progress (I schelule recordings in an external 5Tb hard disk).

Thanks and regards.

Hi.

I can mark the thread as done with the commands of this link.

I write you the command just in case someone is interested:

Code:

NEXT_TIMER=$(svdrpsend next | grep -hi "250" | awk '{print $3 " " $4 " " $5 " " $6 " " $7}')
NEXT_TIMER_UTC=$(date -d "$NEXT_TIMER" +%s)

Regards.
