[vdr] stubborn runvdr script wanted

[Robert Simons <robert@vis.ethz.ch>]

Hi,

I'm looking for a runvdr script that will always reload the driver 
and restart vdr whenever vdr exits normally or anormally.

The script I'm using now just terminates when vdr makes an emergency
exit (while trying to record on a channel that is (temporarily) 
unavailable).
My script will terminate in this case with the message: I/O possible.
When i copy the same commands to the commandline and execute them
they don't crash and restart vdr instead.

my script:
------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

DVBDIR="../DVB/driver"
VDRPRG="vdr"
VDRCMD="/usr/src/VDR/$VDRPRG -w 60 $*"

LSMOD="`/sbin/lsmod | grep -w '^dvb' | wc -l`"
KILLPROC="/usr/bin/killall -TERM"

# Load driver if it hasn't been loaded already:
if [ $LSMOD -eq 0 ] ; then
   (cd $DVBDIR; make insmod)
   fi

while (true) do
      su -c "$VDRCMD" $VDRUSR
      date
      echo "restarting VDR"
      $KILLPROC $VDRPRG
      sleep 10
      (cd $DVBDIR; make rmmod; make insmod)
      date
      done
---------------------------------------------
as you can see it's almost identical to the one 
distributed by klaus.
I just omitted the exit when vdr doesn't behave well
(I'm not home during the week and i don't want to
loose all recordings).
And i adjusted for the use of killall.

Gruss Robert
