You can try something like this. Change MYSTART to "/pathto/freevo
-- recordserver start" or
"/pathto/freevo -- recordserver --daemon" depending how new of freevo
you use and MYSTOP to
"/pathto/freevo -- recordserver stop" or "/pathto/freevo --
recordserver --stop".
note you don't need the quotes.

stop() {
