On running the following command: psrecord 1330 --log activity.txt --plot plot.png

After we use ctrl+z to stop the process the activity.txt file is created but there is no plot.png file created.

Moreover, I don't want to use --duration here.

How can this be solved ?

Update. Should have used ctrl+c to stop the process. Now it shows up.

astrofrog commented 6 years ago

The reason ctrl+z didn't work is that it stops but does not terminate the process (that is, the process can be resumed or sent to the background).

Did anyone try to stop psrecord from inside a bash script? Sending SIGINT after recording leaves me with just a log file and no pliot file.
