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?
let me guess: it gets a timeout? VDR is busy waiting for the shutdownscript to return, so no new svdr-connection is accepted. Spawn the svdrpsend (with at, if you like) and your problems will vanish.
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 ;)
my shutdownscript consists of the some lines above and some ssh-commands to my house-controlling (NSLU2), which tracks, which computer is online and offline, and which computer wants to wakeup when (via wake-on-lan). I don't know if this would be helpful, since its quite complex.
