I think that's the best compromise between the solution
i like and the solution klaus is prefering.
Idea: If vdr is reading 'pin.vdr' (or whatever the file will be called)
every time a pin is needed it's easy to implement my favourite
solution too. I could just rename/change the pin-file with a command
or even make it active only on definite times (via script).
