"Stop Playing/Recording" on the Actions panel via scripting?

Question

Using "ScriptingListener.plugin" I was able to record an action, however it triggers "Begin recording" and will not toggle it off, even if I make another action with the same script. Is there a way to trigger this action or the escape key? I want to be able to record multiple actions in a loop, so stopping recording is imperative.

ScriptingListener always record events while it is loaded into memory.

You can use jsx code to enable

    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID('log'), true);
    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID('AdobeScriptListener ScriptListener'), desc, DialogModes.NO);

and disable the creation of the log file

    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID('log'), false);
    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID('AdobeScriptListener ScriptListener'), desc, DialogModes.NO);

* It should be understood that the plugin is not an alternative to actions - it records a lot of "garbage" events, before executing the logged code, it requires careful filtering
