after the execution of the shutdown script, VDR returns to normal 
operation.

sorry if I misunderstood you, but I thought, we are talking about the 
shutdown script. 

of course you can start a script from runvdr by something like
   echo /path/to/script | at +20sec  
and hope that VDR will be running after that 20 seconds. 

From within runvdr you can execute a script using SVDRP at any time.
Therte is also no need to put it into background.
