[vdr] start by system-v script

[mailinglists@peess.de]

hi ml,

i'm currently trying to switch from vdr-1.04-aio to vanilla vdr-1.1.x, but
one strange behaviour is still a show stopper:
started at system-start by a system-v script, only version 1.04 accepts
tty1 as stdin, vdr-1.1.27 doesn't even
request the key setup ( if remote.conf doesn't exist ).
started _from shell_ both do work flawless, it's just vdr-1.1.27's
non-interactive start on tty1.
/var/log/messages does indicate a normal start, it even switches to last
tv-channel and runs in background as usual.
started from shell, all keys get grabbed on tty1, but started from script,
all keys appear on the ( non-login ) console.

i don't have a working irda system setup yet, so testing with a remote is
not yet an option... but don't want to depend solely on it anyway.

short:
'/etc/init.d/vdr-1.0.x start' works
'/etc/init.d/vdr-1.0.x stop'
'/etc/init.d/vdr-1.1.x start' doesn't work

'/opt/vdr-1.1.27/bin/vdr --config=/opt/vdr-1.1.27/etc/
--epgfile=/mnt/tmpfs/epg.data 
--shutdown=/opt/scripts/system_shutdown  --terminal=/dev/tty1
--video=/home/media/dvb &'
works as did vdr-1.04

probably it's a bug in vdr-1.1.x, or maybe a dropped feature...
is there a helpful soul that can enlighten me? anyone?

bye,
daniel
