Scheduled online radio grabbing in Ruby or Node.JS?

Question

Ruby on Rails

There is a task - to record a radio program twice a week (from the broadcast address www.5-tv.ru/radio.mp3) at certain time intervals.
For example, the program goes on the air on Sunday from 18:00 to 19:00 and on Tuesdays from 00:00 to 01:00
. Just how to record a stream, I imagine. The matter is simple.
But here's how to make the recording start (this is understandable, according to the cron) and end (this is not clear) at specified times?

Answer 1

If this is a separate script, and not part of the application, then you can send kill -15 PIDthe script via cron.

Answer 2

There is gem clockwork, especially for periodic tasks.
For example:
every(1.day, 'mondays.send_news', :at => '01:00', :if => lambda { |t| t.wday == 1 }
) recording time interval. Stop recording when you're done.
