simply write an intelligent shutdownscript.


mine does:

(only snippets)

if [ "`ps aux | grep noad | grep -v 'grep noad'`" != "" ]; then
  logger -t vdr "not shutting down, noad is running"

if [ "`smbstatus -p | grep -c 192.168.42`" != "0" ]; then
  logger -t vdr "not shutting down, samba-users are connected"
  exit 1
  fi

if [ "`w -hs | wc -l`" != "0" ]; then
  logger -t vdr "not shutting down, users are connected"
  exit 1
  fi

simply do a timecheck. if its ok to shutdown, do it with an wakeuptime of $5 or if its a
manual shutdown without timer, with a wakeuptime of `date -d "tomorrow 8am" +"%s"`


you can script vdr very well, imho.
