In the startup scripts I've been using for some time, it does a check for /tmp/VDRBOOT_COMPLETE to confirm vdr started correctly. It doesn't seem to have a problem if the file is not found, but somewhere along the line vdr stoped creating this file on startup. What is the current way to check if vdr correctly started?

Why don't you use ps x? No need to write files, if the process is running, vdr is loaded.

VDR never wrote that file, this must be a feature of some distribution or patch.
You can try to connect via SVDRP. If SVDRP connects, the VDR core main loop is up and running.
