Specify recording time for a ros2 bag

[paoloelle]

Description

I would like to have a flag that allows to specify the time length of a record of a ros2 bag.

Related Issues

I cannot specify the time length when I want to record a bag file. I need it since I will run the record from a bash file and the command timeout 10 ros2 bag record /topic_name doesn't work. If I run the same command directly from the terminal works.

Completion Criteria

• have a flag that allow to specify the recording lenght

An alternative solution that I found is by storing the PID:

ros2 bag record /topic_name
BAG_PID=$!
sleep time_length
kill $BAG_PID
