I believe such a flag for a timer would cause more trouble than good.
Imagine somebody sets that flag for a timer that starts at, say, 20:00
and ends at 21:00. So he expects VDR to shut down at 21:00. Later (but be=
fore
the 20:00 timer ends) he decides to also record a show at 23:00, but forg=
ets
to clear the shutdown flag at the previous timer. He then would lose the =
23:00
recording.

If somebody wants to automatically shutdown his VDR machine, I suggest he=
 also
enables automatic restart of the machine.
