Renew output path without stopping the capturing?

[Darwin222]

I would like to be able to renew the output path i.e split the video in parts without stopping rtmpdump. Moving the file to a new location doesn't work (at least in linux) since the stream continues to get saved in its new location.

The best I can think of is to use FFmpeg

ffmpeg -i a.flv -c copy -ss 60 -t 60 b.flv

The problem with this is that the original file continues to grow in size. This is not efficient because I would like to capture the stream 24/7. So the original file will continue to grow forever.

Any other ideas?

Its kind of hard because you havent given any specifics. For example how long the clips.

The streams will be saving 24/7 so the size will be growing forever. Every 24 hours I would like to cut the clip and save it into a new file. I would like to cut it and not copy it, so the original file does not grow in size forever. I hope you understand what I mean...
