OBS Studio is primarily meant as a live production tool for livestreaming; recording is a secondary function, and pure command-line use is not currently in-scope for the project.
OBS can be configured to use ffmpeg for output, but only at the encoding stage.

You can run OBS minimized and control via hotkeys or websocket plugin. There are also commandline options. Get them by running "obs64 --help > help.txt" and review help.txt.
