I'm sure you mean SVRDP ('P', not 'D' at the end ;-)

VDR _will_ not notice that. You can only modify timers.conf
wen VDR is _not_ running. Even modifying timers.conf and then
doing a restart of VDR is not safe, because VDR might write
timers.conf in the meantime.

The only safe way to modify the timers (apart from the menu)
is via SVDRP.

Since there can be only one SVDRP connection at a time, there
should be no problem.

Type HELP in an active SVDRP connection.
