Why don't you just pass the script per -s option to vdr. It will be called
again after the inactivity time is passed again.

the script should look like this:

 1. check if something important is running (your CMD_LST). If yes, exit.
 2. If not, prepare your pc for the next timer (nvram-wakeup, wake-on-lan, ...)
 3. shutdown.
