Hi Klaus. I have tried to find some information on the exit codes of vdr. Does 
the exit codes differ if the reasons for terminating of vdr are different ? 
What I think of is, if vdr quits because f.i. a plugin could not be loaded. 
Since runvdr checks if exitcode != 0 => restart, it would be good to catch 
non recoverable errors like misconfiguration with a different exitcode, 
otherwise we would get a infinite loop ... difficult to catch, beside using 
error handling in runvdr. Would something like this be possible ? Or is it 
implemented and I'm to stupid to see it ? 

Regards

Steffen
