Noad solves this by dropping a noad.pid file in the recording folder for 
any noad that is currently processing this recording. This also catches 
re-runs of the pre-recording command.

For post-recording, I would suggest to run any command in background and 
sleep for one minute, then check if the recording was restarted.

For a restart check, put a 'currently recording' marker file into the 
folder on pre-recording and remove it on post-recording. Or keep an eye 
on date and time of the index.vdr file.
