This could be avoided by backgrounding VDR, do other stuff, and then 
'wait' for VDR to terminante. 'wait $PID' will even return the error 
level of VDR.

So you actually want to start your process some time *after* VDR started 
up, so that VDR has initialized some stuff. So for what are you waiting 
actually? Reading configuration? Loading plugins? Starting pending 
timers? Updating EPG?
