Hi Folks,

I am using vdr0.82 and restarts vdr with a cron job every day with the
script at the end of this mail.
Iīve got the following Prob:
Several Times when vdr records via timer a cyrptet channel(eg. premiere) it
exits with the following message:

Jul  7 15:07:12 lux vdr[4130]: initiating emergency exit
Jul  7 15:07:12 lux vdr[2964]: emergency exit requested - shutting down
Jul  7 15:07:15 lux vdr[2964]: emergency exit!


Does anybody else got thes errors to. (I thing vdr canīt switch to the
channel)

Do somebody know a "workaround script" for that restart vdr after such an
emergency exit ??

I use a modified script von klaus schmidingers runvdr. Look at the end of my
message.

I am not so good in linux and scripting.
Please help me and give me solutions for this problem.

Many Thanks

klaus

-------------------------------
here is my script i am using:
------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

# runvdr: Loads the DVB driver and runs VDR
#
# If VDR exits abnormally, the driver will be reloaded
# and VDR restarted.
#
# Set the environment variable VDRUSR to the user id you
# want VDR to run with. If VDRUSR is not set, VDR will run
# as 'root', which is not necessarily advisable.
#
# Since this script loads the DVB driver, it must be started
# as user 'root'.
#
# Any command line parameters will be passed on to the
# actual 'vdr' program.
#
# See the main source file 'vdr.c' for copyright information and
# how to reach the author.
