[vdr] Re: maybe a bit OT: hardware ctrl-alt-del

[Stefan Schluenss <Stefan.Schluenss@gmx.de>]

Just an idea:
It should be possible to write a small daemon which runs in the backgroud
which observes (maybe once a second) one pin of the printer port. If this pin
is gounded (they should be pulled-up, so grounding should work) a softshutdown
will be initiated.

Greetings 
Stefan.
