This looks nice, and especially attractive because it only uses bash and ffmpeg, avoiding unnecessary dependencies. I have to wonder about this though:<p>&gt; When Ctrl+C is pressed, the operating system sends a SIGINT signal to the control script, which transfers to a signal handler function. The signal handler script makes a new directory with the days time and date, moves all video files to that location, and uploads the new directory and it’s contents to Google Drive.<p>So the script is run manually, and also interrupted manually? It seems strange because I would expect something like this to happen via cron.
