rosbag_control

This package contains a node that exposes an actionlib API to control rosbag.

Installation

# Clone this repo in your catkin workspaces src folder
cd catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/LdwgWffnschmdt/rosbag_control.git

# Make the cfg file executable
chmod a+x rosbag_control/cfg/Rosbag.cfg

# Build your workspace
cd catkin_ws
catkin_make

# You'll probably also need to make the node executable
chmod +x rosbag_control/src/rosbag_control

Usage

The node exposes an actionlib API:

#goal definition
string arguments
---
#result definition
---
#feedback
string stdout
string stderr

The node will execute rosbag "arguments" so you can run any rosbag script. To stop the script just cancel the action.

The folder in which the script is executed can be configured with dynamic_reconfigure
