[vdr] nvram.wakup and system shutdown

[Michael Plagge <plagge@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>]

Hi all

i have a few questions about nvram.wakeup and vdr. These problems mainly
stems from the fact, that i did not use a dedicated VDR Box, but have my
DVB-S
card installed inside a computer which is also used for other tasks like
programming.

Now i would like to have the following behavior of my computer. If it is
started by the BIOS for the recording of a film MT tv-show, it should
shut
down immediately after the recording when nobody is logged in.  This
could
perhaps be done by using the commands, which can be defined to be called
after
a recording. Has anybody perhaps already a running script for that ?

The next thing i would like to see is perhaps a little more complicated
and
needs some extensions to the vdr source code. When i am working at my
computer, vdr runs in the background to do some recording. When i now
shutdown
my computer manually (not thinking of vdr since it is running so stable
:-) ),
the vdrshutdown script of nvram.wakeup is not called and any changes to
the
timers.conf do not lead to changes of the BIOS wakeup time for the next
recording. Therefore i want to ask if it is possible to implement a
signal
handler in vdr reacting for example on SIGHUP. This signal could be sent
via
killscript in /etc/rc1.d/ to vdr on shutdown and vdr can call the
shutdownscript from the signal handler. Perhaps there are any other
ideas how
to update the BIOS wake up time during a manual shutdown.
