I use this script to record in a headless box. I shell into the box to set the script. My set top box allows me to scheduals the programs to watch so I don't need a irblaster.

## Primative Capture Script ##
## Enter Run Time in Minutes ##
## Direct Command Line Control ##

## Timed Start using at command ##
## at time mm/dd/yyyy ##
## /path/capture 20 filename ##
## ^D ## to set and escape ##

#!/bin/sh -
DURATION=$(expr $1 \* 60)
NAME=$2
STORE=/d14
if [ -n "$DURATION" ]
then if [ -n "$NAME" ]
then echo Run Time $(expr $DURATION / 60) Minutes
cat /dev/cxm0 > ${STORE}/${NAME}.mpg & CATPID=$!
sleep $DURATION
echo ${STORE}/${NAME}.mpg Done
kill $CATPID
else
echo "Input error, use format sh capcxm 20 filename"
