[vdr] Re: Feature request: "shutdown when recording finishes"

["Gerhard Steiner" <GSteiner@gmx.at>]

Only a thought...

this could be done by scripts.

Just create somewhere a file (maybe by touch) and make an entry for this in
the commands.conf

Within the file called before and after recordings (-r option) do the
following in the "after recordings"-section:
- test whether the above mentioned file exists
- if yes, delete it and call "at now ..\shutdown-command" (something like
svdrpsend.pl HITK power)

I hope you understand what I meant :-)

lg, Gerhard
