[vdr] Re: watchdog doesn´t work when vdr called with option "-d"?

[anaxares@gmx.de]

Hallo,

thanks for again helping me :)

So regarding the functionality of watchdog I should prefer to start VDR 
in /etc/inittab without the -d option.
Why I didn´t do that is because then the PC doesn´t react to any keys on 
the keyboard anymore!
I even can´t log on to the PC, and ending the VDR-task not logged in is 
imho not possible :/
Any solution?
