Hey, I wrote that on 2007-02-08 (ISO date) or 8.2.2007 (German or Finnish style date). I think there are at least 3 permutations of /-separated dates in different locales.
In my opinion, the behavior should be that the power button engages an immediate shutdown. Period.
An appropriate signal, probably SIGTERM, should also do this.
The ONLY exception to this would be if vdr is currently recording something, in which case a warning comes up and asks you to confirm the shutdown.
Agreed. SIGHUP.
Brilliant idea. This would also simplify the ACPI powerbutton event script, whose name escapes me right now. I modified the script on my system to send "HITK Power" via SVDRP, but it would be much cleaner and probably somewhat faster to send a signal.
Darren, if your packages end up in the official Debian, I hope you will also provide a nice hook for the ACPI powerbutton event. (If vdr is running, signal it. Otherwise, shut down the system normally.)
