Schedule from command line

Asked by Peter

Hi,

      Is there a way I can schedule recordings from terminal? Is there a file where the recording schedules are stored? I'm new to Ubuntu and am wanting to schedule using ssh.

Thanks!

You'll need crontab for that. From the Terminal, type the command below to learn more on the functions it can provide.

man crontab

HTH.

you can use cron as user with:

contab -e

or if the steps need root access:

sudo crontab -e

There is also a GUI called gnome-schedule which can be ran as user or if you run:

gksudo gnome-schedule

It will cron as root

Hi Peter,

I don't think that the previous posters understand the exact action that you are trying to perform. You are asking if you can SSH onto your media server and schedule a program for recording in Me TV, correct? In short, for 1.3.X "no" but there is a development version that can do that. It's not quite stable yet but I will hopefully get the chance to fix it in the next few weeks.

Cheers,

Michael
