Thanks for the help.
I see the Monitor application has a variable called MONITOR_EXEC, this variable
contains a the name of a script which are executed everytime the monitor
application exits. The script is usually used for audio
editing/mixing/conversion.
I thought problem solved, because in the name of consistency I was sure that the
MeetMe application will have a MEETME_EXEC variable, which executes a script at
the end of a meetme conference. But I couldn't seem to find it.
As Pierre du Plessis pointed out one can have a cron/shell script that finds and
converts new .wav files to mp3, but it feels a bit iffy to me.
I want the conversion to take place the moment when the meetme finish, thus the
end of the meetme must trigger the script.
How will one go about doing this?
Thanks a lot.
Cheers.
