Hi, since I use 1.3.6 I have problems to shut my system down when there is no timer programmed. I tried with a plain vdr-1.3.6 and found out, that the "time to next timer"-parameter ($2) is not zero but it seems to be the negative current time as t_time. Ok, I could treat number less than

startet that long ago should be finished by now, but maybe somebody could have a look onto this.

I just found this rather old posting in my inbox - sorry for not getting back to you on this earlier...

I believe the fix should look like this:

--- vdr.c 2006/04/15 11:05:49 1.257 +++ vdr.c 2006/04/15 11:29:13 @@ -1132,7 +1132,8 @@ cControl::Shutdown(); int Channel = timer ? timer->Channel()->Number() : 0; const char *File = timer ? timer->File() : ""; - Delta = Next - time(NULL); // compensates for Confirm() timeout + if (timer) + Delta = Next - time(NULL); // compensates for Confirm() timeout char *cmd; asprintf(&cmd, "%s %ld %ld %d "%s" %d", Shutdown, Next, Delta, Channel, *strescape(File, ""$"), UserShutdown); isyslog("executing '%s'", cmd);

Can you confirm this?
