Hello List,
I have written a small daemon, which can replace acpid on VDR systems and was written with dedicated VDR systems in mind.
Core Features: - Faster than acpid with all the required external scripts. - Emergency reboot feature. You don't loose the power button as safe emergency exit button. Just press it four times within three seconds and a clean reboot is triggered. - Very easy to set up. If you want, you can just copy the "vdrpbd" file to your VDR system and execute it. VDR should react to the power button immediately! - Systemd integration. If systemd is detected, then vdrpbd tries to register itself as "power button inhibitor". The module "Net::DBus" is required for this to work.
Note that it requires an up-to-date kernel, as the only supported way, to access the power button, is the input layer. There is no "netlink" support and I also won't add it.
