quick start:

   1. download and expand achieve.
   2. move "shstream" file into path (for example, /usr/local/bin).
   3. open example.shstream in a text editor.
   4. change option "numoffiles" to desired recording length (for three hours, make it "18", because 600 (default setting for "filelengthinsecs" option) seconds times 18 equals 10800 seconds equals three hours).

   6. change "destdir" option to your desired storage location for completed file(s).
   7. change "streamurl" option to your audio stream url (test the url first with mplayer! if mplayer can't play it, it won't work!).
   8. change "filename" option to reflect your stream content.
   9. save changes.
   10. then do: "shstream /path/to/your/new/config.shstream".
