What would VDR add to the call and why? Isn't this the absolutely best way
to shut it all down? All those SVDRP thingies are IMHO just fugly hacks at
doing somethinf that should be a simple thing.

Another solution is of course to do a little "shutdown" plugin that asks
for confirmation and then does whatever is necessary using system() to
bring the system down.
