Then the message appears: "Next recording in -xx minutes - Shutdown anyway ?" When I now press ok the shutdown routine will be called and the timer given to the shutdown script is in the past, so the machine will shut down but never wake up again. Any easy solutions for this ?

There's no simple solution to this, I think. I remember that this has been discussed before, however without results. Using nvram-wakeup, the nvram script will complain next and shutdown will not work, you have to disable all running timers and all close timers, or nvram-wakeup wont shut down.

The current solution just uses the remaining time to the next timer, and thats the running one of course. A proper solution would have to skip over the offending timers to get the next timer that is at least xx minutes in the future. Probably the easiest and most radical solution is to really disable (or skip) all offending timers after each confirmation.
