Maybe you want to try my runvdr replacement:

http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/mwiesner/download/watchvdr

It does not write VDRs pid into a file (though it would be simple to add
that) but instead it has an option to write its own pidfile and you may
send it a SIGTERM to shutdown VDR (and the script) or a SIGHUP to kill
VDR and thereby causing a driver reload and VDR restart.

The script is intended to be fully configurable via parameters, so there
is (hopefully) no need to modify the script itself to fit it to ones
needs.
