Dave, it seems that if you don't specify a complete path, the 'start' option will use the sound_prefix directory to put the file in - so unless you have changed it in vars.xml, in your case the recording will be /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie/test.wav It looks like the 'stop' option doesn't use the same assumption - but if you specify the full path it will work - so uuid_record 36dfdf636dfd6f36df stop /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie/test.wav Or a better solution would be to specify the directory you want to use explicitly when starting the recoding.

I have figured out how to start recording using uuid_record, but when i try to stop the record, i get: -ERR Cannot stop record session! here is my code(with a sudo uuid in place here) api uuid_record 36dfdf636dfd6f36df start test.wav

and to stop the record: api uuid_record 36dfdf636dfd6f36df stop test.wav

the start one works fine, but the stop one does not. What am i missing here?

Thanks in advance, Dave
