[vdr] Little Feature Request

["Stephan Bieker" <stephan@bieker-online.de>]

I want to suggest two Features. Perhaps, some others find them usefull to.

a) If vdr is actually recording, it would be nice, if it would create a flag
or temp file, perhaps with the actuall recordings. This would be fine for
using in own scripts to prevent rebooting/shutdown while recording or when
one wants to reboot from a remote console. I didn't find a way to check for
actuall recording. Perhaps i'm blind?!?

b) A way inside vdr, to prevent shutdown if a flag or file exists. I know,
this can be done in the vdrshutdown script too ("test blabla"), but i find
it better, that vdr itself does not shutdown, if such a flag exists. It
would be best, if this could be done in the configuration with a xyz.file,
in which one can declare several flags or tempfiles to obey.

Example:
nopoweroff.conf
---
/video00/JobQ
/video00/rip
/home/vdr/.flagpipapo
---

and if vdr checks this like "test" and if one of them is true, it will not
call vdrshutdown (or similar).


Gruss

Stephan
