Hi,
as always it's a problem of knowing how to do what you want to do. I for example am trying and trying to get rid of the onscreen message "Taste drücken, um Ausschalten abzubrechen" automatically, but somehow commands like $svdrpsend HITK Ok > /dev/nulll & with svdrpsend=/usr/lib/vdr/svdrpsend.pl
do not get through to vdr when issued in a shutdown-hook script (debian vdr), but work flawlessly when issued by hand. Any suggestions on that problem?
My biggest problem might be understanding how to make an intelligent shutdownscript for vdr and there are almost no examples given - if you got a longer "example" I would be glad to learn from it ;)

Hi,
after some more trial and error I recognized, that the shutdown-hooks are called after the timeout for a key-press to abort the shutdown by hand has accured. This leads to 5 minutes "Taste drücken, um Ausschalten abzubrechen" being displayed on screen, so sending a key with svdrp to kill this annoying message (at least in times where a shutdown is not allowed due to shutdown-hooks) is no option. Even trying to handle the situation in a shutdown-hook at all is no option as they seem to be called after the "key-press to abort shutdown"-timeout.
Seems like I have to options to work around this a) with a cron script sending svdrp HITK messages every minute as long as shutdowns are not wanted b) with a plugin creating fake activity while shutdowns are not wanted
