[vdr] Re: driver reload via commands.conf

[Patrick GUENEAU <pgueneau@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi


I have tested the following scripts with H+ Remote using lircd and
irexec.

Quit is shutting down VDR and the computer (soon it will program RTC
Alarm).

PROG is toggling vdr + DVB up/down.


feel free to improve this first trial ; the point is i could manage to
shutdown vdr inside the shutdown script (the one passed with -s option).
As lirc should be used i found easier using irexec.


Hope this helps.

Patrick.

-------------- startvdr.sh (used by irexec)
#!/bin/bash
#
# Should we really need to shutdown vdr
if [ "`pidof vdr`" != "" ] ; then
 exit
fi

# to prevent from calling shutdown/starting scripts twice
#
# shutdown is running
#
if [ -f /tmp/shutvdr ]  ; then
 exit

# startup is running
