let me guess: it gets a timeout? VDR is busy waiting for the shutdownscript to return, so
no new svdr-connection is accepted. Spawn the svdrpsend (with at, if you like) and your
problems will vanish.

my shutdownscript consists of the some lines above and some ssh-commands to my
house-controlling (NSLU2), which tracks, which computer is online and offline, and which
computer wants to wakeup when (via wake-on-lan). I don't know if this would be helpful,
since its quite complex.
