A lot of use cases in the streaming workflow require us to do something after a stream recording completes. It could be as simple as notifying a remote endpoint or moving the recorded file to a different location etc. Irrespective of what you want to do, things can become complex as you work with java to write/trigger your custom logic as a module. Whenever you want to update the code, you will need to recompile and redeploy the code.

The open source [onRecord module (ModuleOnRecordScript)](https://github.com/connessionetech/rtmpworld-wse-plugin-onrecord/releases) makes it simpler for you to tap into the `record complete` event by connecting it to an external shell script (bash for Linux and .bat for windows). You can [read through the module’s documentation](https://rtmpworld.com/blog/execute-custom-logic-via-shell-script-after-recording-a-stream-with-wowza-streaming-engine/#vodpostprocess-installation) to learn more about it and get an understanding of how it can be helpful to you.
