You don't need to explicitly check timers.conf for that.
When the shutdown script is called, it gets the start time of the next 
timer event. So all you need to do is store that time in, say, a file
and check the current time against that one. Once it has been reached
simply start VDR again. This can be done even simpler by generating an 'at'
job entry that starts VDR at the given time
