Looking for a sound recorder controlled by command line

Hi, thanks a lot for reporting your experience and suggestions!

I'm looking for a Win32 (or 64) recorder, with these features:
1) Support line command, like pogram.exe /record , and program.exe /stop
2) show in tray the recording or stop
3) save file with date:time format as name

Do you know any software that suites that?

Would be nice to see also:
Vu-meter in tray, showing clip
adjust automatically the record volume base on average volume.
Save directly in .aac format

Thank you a lot!
 
I would like to recommend the recorder that I am using right now.
It is totally automatically and perfectly show in tray the recording or stop. And it can output .aac format directly.
But I am sorry to tell you that it can't directly save file with date:time format as name :facepalm: Instead it saves the files with a name like "Track 1" "Track 2"...
But the time will be saved in the ID3 tags. If you don't mind, you can rename the files according to the time.
The software is Streaming Audio Recorder, you can search it on Google.

Almost sounds super secretive... like you could record someone using the mic on their laptop/computer... what are you looking to accomplish with this solution?
 

You're looking at an uphill battle here as Win32 is completely unsupported.
This means that any software you can find will either be completely unmaintained or be maintained by a single person who either doesn't know or doesn't care about programming best-practices.

That being said, I don't know off the top of my head of any such software.

There are supported, modern command-line based recording programs though. Most of them are for *nix systems, which means you'll need to switch to Linux (and deal with the hassle of configuring audio hardware to play nicely with that), Mac (and deal with the hassle of installing F/OSS software despite Mac not wanting you to), or Windows 10 - Redstone or later (which adds support for a linux command line)
If you opt for that, sox or ecasound should have you covered.
 
thank you all for the kind support! I evaluated every single suggestion.
It looks like that all command line programs never thought about "stop" the recording by a command line. Killing the taks doesn't look a good idea. I wrote to some authors, maybe there will be a hope for me. Thank you again )
