[vdr] Re: where to place runvdr on suse 8.0

[Eyck Jentzsch <Eyck@familie-jentzsch.de>]

Hi Gerhard,

I placed a script called vdr (see attachement) in the /etc/init.d 
directory and created 2 links to it in /etc/init.d/rc3.d named S07vdr 
and K15vdr (my linux box is running in rnlevel 3, which is network and 
no X). For configuration the file /etc/sysconfig/vdr is used (attached 
as sysconfig_vdr).
So vdr starts right after network and syslog (it needs these two 
services) and usually vdr is ready when the login prompt shows up.
If you use this method, you have to remove the line in inittab
