The name of the video will be displayed in stdout when saving the video.\ +This way of recording while using replay/streaming is more efficient than running GPU Screen Recorder multiple times since this way it only records the screen and encodes the video once. ## Controlling GPU Screen Recorder remotely To save a video in replay mode, you need to send signal SIGUSR1 to gpu screen recorder. You can do this by running `pkill -SIGUSR1 -f gpu-screen-recorder`.\ To stop recording send SIGINT to gpu screen recorder. You can do this by running `pkill -SIGINT -f gpu-screen-recorder` or pressing `Ctrl-C` in the terminal that runs gpu screen recorder. When recording a regular non-replay video this will also save the video.\ -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
