Now changing again.... I had one using pipes, but it heavily violated
the KISS principle, and didn't work to boot.... so next one was using
the Open2  interface in perl.... prob was, it wouldn't quit when
told..... very obedient.... ;)

Believe it or not, the most sucess has been

( sleep 300 ; echo quit ; sleep 5 ; echo quit ) | vlc -I rc --fake-tty
udp at blah --sout file/ts:blah

Ugly, simple, and most efficient....

When I've finished, I'll update ;)

Regards,

Richard
