The most common tasks can be done with vdr itself. If you wanna have some rare 
features like regexp search over epg.data you can do it with an external 
system like vdradmin. For example the requested "force deletion of recordings 
marked as deleted" feature is already there - you can do it with an ssh 
login. That's unix!
