[vdr] nvram-wakeup

[Arno Esser <arno.esser@gmx.de>]

My dear list,

my computer shows some obscure behavior. I try to use the nvram-wakeup 
utility to automatically restart my computer before the recording shall 
start. When I test the procedure manually (nvram-wakeup and then halt) 
everything works fine. The computer restarts automatically. If the 
commands are executed from vdr by following script:

#!/bin/bash
 
/dvb/nvram-wakeup | /usr/bin/logger -t nvram-wakeup
 
if /dvb/nvram-wakeup -s $1 ; then
     /dvb/nvram-wakeup | /usr/bin/logger -t nvram-wakeup
     /sbin/halt
else
     echo "wakeup failed" | /usr/bin/logger -t nvram-wakeup
fi

then the values are correctly set in BIOS (I checked that after the next 
reboot) but the machine does not start. So where is the difference in 
execution between manual starting and starting via vdr??

Thank you for any hints.
