Hi and thanks for your help, it was more than useful I came up with this solution as it is a non Linux geek which shall start and stop the record-process #!/bin/sh #script for using a graphical dialog to jack_capture cd /home/sem/liverecording while true do Xdialog --stdout --yesno "PRESS YES TO START REC" 10 40 case "$?" in 0) jack_capture -c 16 -p system:capture* | Xdialog --stdout --msgbox " RECORDING IN PROGRESS\n PRESS OK TO STOP REC " 10 40 ;; 1) Xdialog --msgbox "Ok no recording started" 10 40 ;; esac done <<SCRIPT>> I then made two icons on the desktop, one to start the script and one to kill it by killing jackd. I admit it's not that pretty, but it works and I hope it'll do the job saturday. Thanks again /Sv-e fre, 27 06 2008 kl. 03:21 +0200, skrev Kjetil S. Matheussen:

Great! Mind if I include something like " #!/bin/bash #script for using a graphical dialog to jack_capture. Written by Svend-Erik Kjær Madsen while true do Xdialog --stdout --yesno "PRESS YES TO START REC" 10 40 case "$?" in 0) jack_capture $@ | Xdialog --stdout --msgbox " RECORDING IN PROGRESS\n PRESS OK TO STOP REC " 10 40 1) Xdialog --msgbox "Ok no recording started" 10 40 esac done " in jack_capture as jack_capture_gui?
